With the title KRIEGSTHEATER, Skogen and the Danish performance artist and curator Cecilie Ullerup Schmidt invite for a reflection of the role of art in relation to warfare. The festival will examine the (mis)use of creative strategies in contemporary warfare and invite for a discussion of the representation of war within performance art: is the representation of war a continuation of warfare with other means? The core focus of KRIEGSTHEATER is the artist’s ethical role: do we nourish, reproduce or undermine the means of violence, when we stage, perform and reflect upon war? The programme will include performances, lectures, screenings and a small exhibition.
