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.

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?
