description About

Solvognen, meaning Chariot of the Sun, was a Danish activist theatre troupe linked to utopian freetown Christiania near Copenhagen. With several well-coordinated performances they protested the NATO, Wounded Knee , and Christmas, among others. Solvognen disbanded in 1983, and was briefly resurrected to protest Guantanamo Bay in 2006. Their anti-capitalist Julemandshæren from 1974 is part of Denmark's cultural canon.
