"The Norwegian Touring Theatre has travelled all over Norway and interviewed people living across the country; teachers, nurses, fishermen, school pupils, pensioners and others.
The answers you get in a performance to make you wise, with real stories from people living in Norway in this very moment. Here the people lead the word."

"The text Brinchmann and Vedel have developed into Folkestyre 2014* (Democracy 2014) is absolutely 'reality based', but as a director Brinchmann has provided the performance with a consciously theatrical expression: Six professional actors who have also taken part in interviewing and contributed to the text development, give life to the many different persons with a realism determinedly close to overacting."
