Stripped

• Original producer: Metronome Denmark
• Original broadcaster: DR3

In an age of consumerism, what if everything you owned disappeared in an instant? Imagine every possession, even the clothes off your back, gone. What would you do and what would change if you were no longer defined by what you owned?

Stripped is the new thought-provoking social experiment that challenges everyday people to put everything they have into storage for one month. Starting with nothing, they must live the 30 days as normal with just one rule: they can only take back one item from their storage container each day.

The participants start by packing everything they have into their storage container. Then, sitting naked in an empty apartment, each will start to question what the most important item is to them. What is normally taken for granted is now part of a modern urban survival test.

Stripped reveals the relationships we all have with material items surrounding us. It asks how we would cope if we had to live a 21st century life without 21st century conveniences. In the series, the participants will be pushed to their limits, both physically and psychologically, and will find that losing everything lets you find yourself. Launched in 2015 in Denmark, Stripped gave broadcaster DR3 its highest ratings in nearly a year.
