Mon, 10.09.2012, 20h, HKD

About the performance

This Kriegspiel presents all 55 diagrams of the moves drawn in the book “The Game of War” by Guy Debord and Alice Becker-Ho, subtitled as “a list of succeeding positions of all forces during the game”. What we perform is a representation of war: „Ludimus effigiem belli“. This Game of War performs all 7 lines of communication between the conflicting sides of the North and the South, the Table of Forces in the game with their characteristics. Palindrome recitatives In Girum and En Giro circle through the game devouring its unfolding. What we are performing is the representation of war: “Ludimus effigiem belli.”
