The citizenship test

In 2017 the theatre Mungo Park Kolding decided to create a cabaret about the danish citizenship test called Indfødsretsprøven. I was asked to come up with a song about the theme, which ended up with the song Indfødsretsprøven. The test have been heavily criticized in Denmark for having a lot of questions most Danes wouldn’t be able to answer, like how many movies there have been made in a special series and more.

In the song, the storyteller had studied for the citizenship test. The person thought it would now have lots to talk about with native Danes, but quickly found out that neither colleagues or travel partners knew much about the subjects.
