Music by Yunior Terry-Cabera
Examines the effects of war and the power of story. It looks at the body as a carrier of stories, following moments of the author’s childhood in war-torn Guatemala (where she is from) through to her experience of witnessing Israel’s violence towards Palestinians. Win the War or Tell Me a Story is a meditation on war, the war of states towards their subjects and the war within. Through the use of voice and physicality the piece embodies the universal themes of longing and displacement and asks what it means to resist, to win, and to replace the global forces that perpetuate hate and domination in today’s world.
