Two fourteen-year-old Jewish girls in a concentration camp, a pair of twin sisters living in China and Japan, the pair of “weapons of mass destruction” that killed to stop the killing…
We have all heard of WWII, the collective painful memory of so many. Despite the pain, we keep on telling the story and making sure it will be told and retold again. We believe there is a lesson in the past that holds the key to world peace. And yet, ultimately what is the inherent goodness of world peace?
W.W.II is not a play. It is an experiment of an experience. The hypothesis being that we all crave for peace and we truly need what we crave. The process includes forcing everyone to have a taste of an imaginative war. The result? Hopefully world peace. If not, at least peace of mind – there is nothing else we can do. Grim, yes. But rainbows are not meant to appear everyday.
*The play includes a photo exhibition with the same theme showing works by photographers from three different cities (Hong Kong, Taipei, and Madrid). Audience members are requested to remove their shoes and may not be able to sit with the guests they arrive with.
Latecomers won't be allowed into the auditorium and there will be no refund.
