WE WILL DANCE AGAIN
A video interview series and social media campaign featuring key voices from Copenhagen’s electronic music scene: club owners, dancers, ravers, creatives, cuties, and more. They reflected on nightlife, rave culture, what they loved about it, and what they missed when the COVID-19 pandemic shut it down for much of 2020 and 2021.
As dancefloors vanished, so did the stimulation, music, hedonistic self-expression, escapism, and spontaneous encounters that defined the culture. The loss also disrupted essential spaces where people freely expressed their sexualities, identities, genders, and races. It marked a period we now look back on from the other side.
