Why We Fight

Coproductie 2018

Theatre maker and choreographer Eric Arnal-Burtschy has been involved in the French army for several years and has participated in various military operations in the Sahel. In his semi-autobiographical monologue, he intertwines his own story with historical texts, letters and diary fragments from other people in an attempt to explore what can engage each of us. What are we fighting for?

Eric Arnal - Why We Fight 16:9

The title of the show is derived from a series of propaganda films designed to explain to the American public why the United States intervened during the Second World War. Arnal-Burtschy wonders what Why We Fight can mean today. A gesture that is intimate and vibrant with contemporary relevance.
