Theatre of War tells the story of how six veterans from the Malvinas/ Falklands War came together to make a film. Almost thirty-five years after the conflict, three British and three Argentine veterans spent months together discussing their war memories and then rehearsing their re-enactment.
This film is a way of showing the whole social experiment of making an artistic project with one-time enemies of war: the auditions to find the protagonists, the first meetings and discussions with them, the theatrical re-enactments of their memories in different scenarios: a swimming pool, a construction site, a military regiment. All the scenes in the film are at the same time authentic and artificial. Sometimes it looks like it’s happening for the first time, sometimes it’s a highly rehearsed situation.
Presented in conjunction with Campo Minado / MINEFIELD at the Quick Center on Saturday, January 26 at 8 P.M.
Tickets available at http://quickcenter.fairfield.edu/18-19-season/theatre/campo-minado-minef...
Following the film, there will be a panel discussion with members of the cast moderated by Peter Van Heerden.
