WEBVTT

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Wei wei is courageous and able

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
to make both his art and his being revolve around these questions

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
of freedom of speech, freedom of expression.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
I mean it's interesting how here in London,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
and across the world, I must say

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
how many people have wanted to take part in this event.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Through this silly act of dancing of dancing,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
you know, we can actually make a difference.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
It's very very interesting, isn't it?

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
That pop music, which is in a way the most opened of cultural forums,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
of lands itself to such a wide wide public

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
and allows us to perhaps insert into it other meanings.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
I come along because at least I initiate trying to do something

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
and I feel little bit guilty about not having done something myself.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
But here I am, I can participate in some activity

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
that supports a cause very near to my heart.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
It's unimaginable to me who've lived freely all my life,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
able to say what I want, do what I want

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
and just to imagine today guys who get punished

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
and you know, excluded from society

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
because they're doing the same thing.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999


99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
It's really, it's really upsetting.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
I'm not here to dance

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
because my knees gave up their dancing days long ago.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
But I'm here to trying wave my arms

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
I think I can manage that.
