Dafa Theater: War Maker (CZ, PS)
Brief: Based on Palestinian artist Karim Shaheen’s true story, War Maker is a voyage into Karim’s dreams and delusions. With the mise-en-scene as a resonance chamber, the audience gets engaged with Karim’s point of view straight from the show’s beginning. War Maker is a multidisciplinary theatre performance that blends visual art, new media with documentary and object theatre. Having lived within an ongoing exile, Karim’s life is standing at the crossroads where the performance itself mirrors his broken war memories. When his friend lost his arm during the Gulf War, Karim the child, whose life was shaped by three wars even more, became interested in the Silver screen, especially sci-fi movies. In different countries he arrived to, a war took place. Was he a War Maker?

Predstava temelji na resnični zgodbi palestinskega umetnika Karima Shaheena in prestavlja popotovanje skozi njegove sanje in iluzije. Z uprizoritvenim prostorom kot resonančno komoro občinstvo že od samega začetka vstopi v Karimov pogled na svet. Karimovo življenje, zaznamovano z nenehnim izgnanstvom, stoji na razpotju – predstava pa odseva njegove razbite vojne spomine. Ko je njegov prijatelj med Zalivsko vojno izgubil roko, se je Karim kot otrok, ki so ga zaznamovale kar tri vojne, začel zanimati za filmsko umetnost, še posebej za znanstveno fantastiko. V državah, kamor koli je prišel, je divjala vojna. Je bil res Ustvarjalec vojne?
