A multimedia stage production without words about the impossibility of depicting war

Media, from raw footage to art and film, shape our perception – yet "Guernica Guernica" confronts us with the impossibility of truly depicting war. Do images bring us closer to reality or alienate us? Framed by two bleachers, the stage becomes a battlefield – half theater, half living artwork. The innovative play "Guernica Guernica" works exclusively with images, music, and mass scenes. The production focuses on the tripartite division: victims, perpetrators, and finally spectators. It simultaneously criticizes the commercialization of war imagery as well as the societal paralysis in the face of conflicts.

A production by FC Bergman, Toneelhuis, and private producer Dirk Raes in co-production with Ruhrtriennale and Les Théâtres de la Ville de Luxembourg.
