I received the following email request from a couple of Danes who will be visiting Detroit in a week. In followup emails, they expressed an interest in the Detroit art scene and getting an insider feel of what is happening here. If anyone has the time and inclination, post a response here and I will work on the connection.
In short: we're a Danish theater right now working on a play about the
financial crisis - with a "global" perspective - and drawing in a number of cities, among them Detroit.
Two of us from the theatre are going to do research in Detroit on the 3rd and 4th of October... and we're looking for people who could show us some of the city, also the deserted parts, and tell us a little about it.
We're very fascinated with the area and the city and hope to get an
impression of what's going on there.
Again: hope to hear from you soon!
All best, Michael Monberg
Also if any of you have any suggestions for relevant art/ theater events on the 3rd and 4th post them here.
