'One of the most beautiful things I've ever heard...sublime'

"The Movement for European Unity must be a positive force, deriving its strength from our sense of common spiritual values...

In the centre of our movement stands the idea of a Charter of Human Rights, guarded by freedom and sustained by law."

Winston Churchill address The Congress of Europe in the Hague May 1948

PERFORMANCES TO INSPIRE & INFORM

 

Weaving his words with original musical settings of the poems which inspired him,

exploring his philosophy of natural law amid the landscapes of his journey, and the love story at its' heart.

 75 YEARS ON,

MEMBERS OF HIS FAMILY TELL THE STORY OF

 

DAVID MAXWELL FYFE'S JOURNEY

FROM NUREMBERG TO STRASBOURG

TO BECOME AN ARTISAN OF THE ECHR

The latest stretch of our Magna Carta Progress is along the #RoadtoReykjavik, where a summit is being held by the Council of Europe this May to refocus their mission in the light of new threats to democracy and human rights and to support Ukraine.

 

It will be held days away from the 75th anniversary of the Congress of Europe, an early step taken towards a united Europe striving for peace after World War II. The event was dominated by Winston Churchill, but David Maxwell Fyfe was a delegate, starting his work on a Convention on Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms. He was a respected figure there because of his recent work at the Nuremberg Trials. 

 

For the UK this is proving to be a rocky #RoadtoReykjavik as the government legislates the Illegal Migration Bill, which threatens either to break up Churchill and Fyfe's legacy, the ECHR, or to facilitate the UK's withdrawal from the Council of Europe. We will continue to perform, shining the light of the past on these troubled debates to encourage the government to work harmoniously with the Council of Europe to solve the current global problems and respect the freedoms of all on European soil.

#RoadtoReykjavik

Dreams of Peace and Freedom is our contribution to the Council of Europe summit in Reykjavik which is a historic opportunity for COE to focus its mission, in the light of new threats to democracy and human rights, and to support Ukraine.
