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 theater performance that blends visual art, new media with documentary and object theater. 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? Length of the performance: 50 minutes. Premiere in Belgium. 12+. 15/18 euros. No words Performance.
