Welcome to the opening of Bastard – Trondheim International Performing festival!

Disturbingly obvious and tantalisingly strange, THE DEMOCRATIC SET is an experimental residency model for working with communities.

Created using an assembly of short performances for film, THE DEMOCRATIC SET is an unrestricted and uncensored exploration of ideals of equality and freedom.

Using a custom-made film set, a neutral room with two opposing doors, THE DEMOCRATIC SET is a free space to be pushed, extended or manipulated, with each participant having full control over how their time is spent in the set.

Authoring a unique living trace of a community at a particular moment in time, THE DEMOCRATIC SET invites each participant to untangle what an uncensored space means to them, and each viewer to be surprised and seduced by the mysterious, funny, poignant and provocative sets as they pan the screen.

“Occasionally it’s like a dream sequence in a David Lynch film, disturbing, unstoppable. Sometimes it reeks of loneliness, people going about their business in some seriously fucked-up economy hotel. But mostly it’s full of laughter and hope, a feeling very much helped by the wide demographic of its contributors.” – RealTime Arts
