War is not a joke, but it can be a farce. 35 years after the Falklands Conflict, “Theatre of War” has former adversaries facing each other and asks them to recreate theatrically their own experiences. In a hybrid format, on the verge between performance art and classic documentary, we see, in turn, a cathartic and therapeutic process of the veterans exorcising their traumas, and proof that the role of “enemy” is cast by the powers-that-be, not a personal choice. We are witnessing, despite the language barriers, an experiment on tolerance, on how some wounds heal with time and some never do. A war that used to antagonise people now manages to bring together on the same side veterans who, coordinated by director Lola Arias, form a wacky and playful punk band. (Teodora Leu)
