The Democratic Set is a rapid series of short screen-based video portraits created by the Australian Back to Back Theatre.

The latest version of the project features inhabitants in the Belgium city of Leuven, who were invited to show up at an outdoor filmset and perform a small act.

After five days of filming, the footage was turned into a 17 minute long alternative video portrait of Leuven and its people.

The project was commissioned by the art center STUK.
