"Lik og del" was a process theater project about how social media creates fronts in the social debate, and can become a threat to democracy. In the scripting process, representatives from radical circles, midstream groups and others were invited to dialog about their relationship to social media and each other. The production became a reality-inspired semi-docudrama, based on the conversations.
The aim of the performance was to promote dialogue and integration, as well as counteract exclusion and radicalization through dialogue methodology and professional performing arts. In addition, the stage space, with its slow process, was a counterweight to thoughts that are published before we have time to think them through. The performance contained both text, dialog and visual performing arts.
Democracy. Community. Freedom. For some a utopia. For others, a matter of course.
For yet another cause worth fighting for. Every single day.
How do we build a democracy? And how do we tear it down? Can history teach us anything at all?
Social media has recently been blamed for the cracks appearing in democracies. Are these accusations justified? Or is social media merely a magnifying glass that allows us to see even more clearly how history repeats itself—once again.
Society is us. Each and every one of us. How much are we influenced by the society we live in? And how much can we ourselves influence the world around us? Does social media make the world smaller? Or does it widen the distances?
How many of us can honestly say we’ve never checked how many likes we’ve gotten on Facebook? How does the pursuit of likes change the way we express ourselves? What we believe? Who we are? Are we equipped to resist the dopamine addiction that cyberspace preys on? Is there a difference between politicians and ordinary people? Does anyone have time anymore to stop and think deeply?
