The works that have been selected for #DANISH this year by The Danish Arts Foundation are:

Rocky! – the return of the loser Produced by Fix&Foxy at (Zoo Venues)

With Rocky! Director Tue Biering explores the elite who have taken the floor and possess the power of speech. The loser's inability to be articulate and have a voice, and the violence that occurs when words come to an end. A reality where those who are tired of being laughed at begins to strike back. A reality where anti-intellectualism is the thing where "elitist" has become a cursed word and where the Selsingers (Danish right-wing debaters) call all modern art leftist, nonsensical and one big declaration against bourgeois living. A reality where we seek shelter in our safe theatre spaces preaching to the already converted. Starring actor Morten Burian as Rocky.

Director Tue Biering said: “With the performance, we would like to challenge our audiences on their automated positions and give the microphone to members of the right wing which they typically do not meet in a theatre space, but which they might love to hate.”
