Theatre of the new generation

War is as old as mankind. For 300,000 years, there has been fighting somewhere in the world - despite all the cries of “Never again!”. Why can’t mankind break out of this spiral? “War Games” examines war as a performative cultural history and social vicious circle. Together with children and young people, SKART questions power, violence and the rules of the game.

The result is a multi-layered performance with theater, video, sound, costumes and stage design - perhaps even dance. But “War Games” is not children’s theater. SKART and the team deal with “adult topics” on a radically equal footing: What is violence? What does it do to us?

Humorous, provocative, intense - SKART is one of the most innovative groups working with children and young people in the German theater scene. “War Games” is art, education and a social statement at the same time. SKART gets involved - with a bang!
