A person in front of a black background screams into the camera. She wears her face in a nylon stocking, an abstract crown made of wire, her upper body covered in pink liquid with nails and razor blades stuck in it.

In the 300,000-year history of modern mankind, there has never been a moment in which war has not been waged somewhere in the world. Although most of the world’s inhabitants seem to be against it, there are few endeavours that Homo sapiens has implemented as reliably as large-scale murder. In their latest production WAR GAMES, SKART & Masters of the Universe, together with performers from Meine Damen und Herren, explore the phenomenon of war as a performative cultural history. Together with students from STS Altona, they examine armed conflicts as social vicious circles. In the form of artistic endless loops, they pose the question: Why is “Never again!” not now?

Performer in white with long braids and a headset stands on a grassy stage, surrounded by glowing circles, smoke, and atmospheric lighting.

A group of young people stands in a line holding posters that say “YOUR COUNTRY NEEDS YOU” with a stage and dramatic lighting in the background.

A performer stands centre stage holding up a long line of political posters strung together, illuminated by strong spotlights.

In a dimly lit stage setting with blue tones, five performers sit or kneel on grass, forming a chain by touching each other's heads.

A group of performers in white outfits stands in a spotlight circle on grass, each holding and examining a black object in their hands.
