CT INTERNATIONAL FESTIVAL 2013

CT INTERNATIONAL FESTIVAL 2013 revolves around the theme WAR.

 

Many artists have in recent years put WAR on stage, but how can WAR be represented in a theatre with its limitations of time and space? What stages does international WAR exhibit itself on? WAR is being waged not only on the battlefield, but also in media and international politics warfare is on the agendas. Who defines and interprets modern warfare in a globalized society?

 

How does WAR affect the mind and body of both the shooter and the targets? Modern warfare is no longer only a conflict between two states centered on one main battlefield where the soldiers fight for territory. Guerilla-tactics, terror, biological, chemical and diplomatic strategies have come to change the terms of WAR and blur the borders between allies, enemies and civilians.

 

Where and who is our source of information on the actions of WAR? Is it journalists, media, regimes or multinational organizations or the refugees in the European asylums? And what part do the images play in the storytelling of war waging around the world?

 

Aesthetics of WAR. Dramaturgy of WAR. Tactics of WAR. CT INTERNATIONAL FESTIVAL goes to WAR in 2013.
