The Flood That Came Over The Night

Overnight between July 14 and 15, 2021, heavy rain turned the normally harmless Ahr river, in the Western part of Germany near Bonn, into a natural disaster flooding the valley and killing 133 people.

With 179 deaths, the floods are the deadliest natural disaster in Germany since the North Sea flood of 1962.

The unexpected natural disaster has thrown its shadow over the German Kansler election and headed the public opinion and urge for more sustainable climate policy.

Men In Black is a self proclaimed group of different people from all walks of life, that are against the corona restrictions imposed by law by the Danish government due to the pandemic. Many believe in conspiracy theories, and some believe that corona does not exist. A conspiracy constructed by the political elite. A global phenomenon, that is also on the rise in Denmark.

Men In Black organises demonstrations in the capital and the biggest cities in Denmark to protest against the government and to let people know that they have seen the truth. They have been "awaken".

Iben, 22 (background): “The best thing about being at a festival with your girlfriend is having one another, but it's also the worst. Because when you have each other, you also feel that you have a responsibility. I'm wondering if Mathilde is doing well”.

Mathilde, 23 (front): “It can be tough to be at a festival. I can feel a little vulnerable and it can be hard to accommodate being a place where there is so much going on and where there is a clear expectation that you should be happy. If you experience not being happy, then it can be hard to mirror the expectations here, and it can be alienating. That's why I'm glad Iben is here because she knows how I feel. And I know I can come to Iben if I have a hard time.

This is the second year we are at Roskilde Festival together. Last year we lived in a tent just the two of us. This year we live in each of our camps. I need tranquillity and a place to go where there is not a party all the time. I don't think I would be able to endure being in Ibens camp, even if we were there together”.

Iben: “I live with one of my friends' college friends. They are quite a party. It's a bit crazy. There was one that happened to shit in the camp yesterday.

When we are alone in the tent, we are just the two of us. Then it is almost like being at home and we talk as if we were at home. Did you remember to buy toilet paper? Is there more pasta in the closet?”

Iben and Mathilde have been together for two years.

Aino, 23: “I had a pretty big anxiety attack in the tent this year after I came back from a party. I've never had anxiety at a festival before, but I think it happened because our tent was right next to the hallway, so I was afraid that someone would topple over at the top of the tent.

It is not a side of me I have shown many people. Usually, I am seen as the strong one who drinks beers, hang out with the boys and is ahead of my game. It was only because I was in a private space with Michael. The tent became another space that was really ours. When something like this happens, it's nice to only share a tent with your partner. It would be strange to live in a big six-person tent.”

Michael, 25: “I was asleep when Aino came in and needed to talk to me. Then we just lay there. One should not talk so much in such a situation, just listen. After I slept towards the hallway.”

Aino: “You were a gentleman. My hero! There is nothing worse than having an anxiety attack alone. Most of the time I just hyperventilate, and afterwards, I'm totally exhausted. Then it is good just to lie down and have a big man of almost two meters holding one.”

Aino and Michael have been together for five years.

Anton, 22: “I came the day before to lie in line. I just wanted to max party and be 100% real Roskilde all in. Still, it ends up that I would rather go and coddle with my girlfriend. We have been home to our room in Roskilde every night and have not slept in our tent at all.

It is absolutely magical to be at a festival together compared to normal everyday life. Yesterday we saw Robert Plant and there was just a party going on. I felt like crying because it was so beautiful.”

Louise, 22: “It is music that is very close to you and that you have always heard. I had never heard it before, but I went along because I wanted to share that experience with Anton.

It is a euphoric experience to be in concert with the one you love most. To stand and hold one another and feel the joy and happiness. It's the most beautiful thing in the world.”

Louise and Anton have been a couple for one year.
