Urban Pilgrims Copenhagen & Christiania

Sunday, January 27th 2008, 15:00-18:30

Urban Pilgrimage Copenhagen 

guided tour with performance, text, music, food, schnaps etc.  
start: Assistens Kirkegården (cemetery) entrance on Nørrebrogade, Copenhagen N. 
Bring bikes. 
Ending: at an inside location with food and drinks.

German artist Angela Dorrer has been living in Copenhagen for the last 3 months 
trying to figure out what the capital of the Danes and the people who live 
there are all about. On Sunday, January 27th the conclusion will be presented 
to those with the nerves to show up for a very extraordinary bicycle ride 
through the city – a pilgrimage for Copenhagen!

This Urban Pilgrimage will be by bike. Starting off on Nørrebro the route will 
lead people to events at Jagtvej 69 and later on at Dronning Louises bro – the 
bridge separating the posh inner city from unruly Nørrebro. The route from 
there on will be decided by the votes of the people – left or right; but no 
matter what everybody will end up at the queen’s castle Amalienborg where a 
Danish paradox will be tried to be solved. These are just some of the 
experiences to be expected on the pilgrimage which will find its conclusion at 
a very special place discovered by Angela Dorrer. But entrance is only allowed 
for those who can keep the secret to themselves.

Urban Pilgrimages are poetic urban extracts. They dig their way into the grain 
of cities to find out what places and its people are really about. Participants 
get involved in individually tailored, dramatized performances about their 
city, based on an online survey, a blog and continuously growing internet 
archives. http://urbanpilgrims.org 
Urban Pilgrimages can take on various forms, such as behavioral instructions or 
procession-like journeys with collective movement, gesture, sound, props, food, 
music and personal encounters. The personalities and communities within the 
given place with their stories and emotions become the artistic material. 
Individual experience becomes a public field, which generates a new cartography 
of a place - the essential toolkit for the 21st century voyager.

The project developed through different public tours during the last years: 
Urban Pilgrims Vienna (2007), Pilgrimage for Calgary (2006), Pilgrimage for 
Edmonton (2005) and Pilgrimage for Munich (2004). Every city originates a 
complete new series of site-specific behavioral instructions, new rituals for 
the city.
