Forever Young

Saturday, 1. March 2008, 07:03:39

No, I am not writing blog posts about Alphaville and their giant hit from 1984.

No, Forever Young is the title of a play I saw in the theater yesterday.

The play was about what has happened to the youth in Denmark during the last 80 years. And also about what difference the youth made for Denmark during the same period of time. It was a very interesting play, and a total different way to look at Danish history.

I heard about how the youth was almost not excisting in the 1920s and 30s because they had to work from they were very young. How some tried to make a difference in the Resistance during WWII. How the 50s gave us rock'n'roll. How the 60s raised flower power and legalization of porn. How the 70s' youth grew up in shared houses where mom and dad ran around naked - if they were still married, that is. How the 80s gave us those youngsters we call autonomous, the ones that moved into abandoned houses and fought to be able to stay there. How the 90s gave us the European Championship in football, and what that meant to the Danes in general.

The show even gave me a small peek into the future, but I promised to keep it a secret, so you just gonna have to wait and see for yourself.

It was brilliant, I just loved it.

Yes, very interesting

And you can recognize your youth in this as well.... I would for sure, I am old enough to remember 70s (barely) and 80s (very well)

I was fun to see because it summarized the Danish history very well. It was very interesting!

You promised to keep the future a secret?

At any point in this play was there a swirly wheel on stage and a soothing voice telling you that Danes are the master race who will rise up at a certain command?

Yes, I promised to keep the future a secret, in order to avoid others to try to change the scenario.

Ooh it's going to be so good. Just you wait and see.

Sounds like a very interesting play

By rose-marie, # 1. March 2008, 16:20:42

It was. And you know what? I completely forget to mention, the theater was on a small boat located in Nyhavn. I have never seen a theater play in a boat before

By Furie, # 1. March 2008, 18:44:18

No and no. I am awfully sorry.

*stops researching How To Buy Cats Presents*

By Furie, # 1. March 2008, 19:26:31

Yeah, stop researching, just go out and buy the presents instead!

By attilasoul, # 1. March 2008, 19:39:56

That was my research. I was just about to get you a yacht as well. But now I know it wont sell...

By Furie, # 1. March 2008, 21:13:42

I can't say more, because then I would reveal the secret I promised to keep. But I can assure you that it's a good thing to buy presents for the cat! *nods*

By attilasoul, # 1. March 2008, 21:21:53

B...b...but, I don't actually like cats.

I think they're evil and we're their pets, not the other way round.

By Furie, # 1. March 2008, 21:28:08

I don't see a problem with that?
