The Democratic Set gives anyone the opportunity, regardless of your skills as a performer, to participate in a creative project. In a completely blank purpose-built set, participants are asked to explore the grand themes of democracy and equality and what it means to them, in any way they choose.

The performances are filmed and edited into a film that will be screened during the Festival and brings together performances that are certain to be insightful, funny, hard hitting and heartfelt, but above all, deeply human.

Presented on a plinth on a tiny hill in Civic Square, its woolly mass is reminiscent of the large stone that tormented the Greek mythological figure of Sisyphus, whose eternal task was to roll it up a hill only for it to roll down again.
