Project Detail

Burlesque

Synopsis

Five soldiers prepare and enact a performance that alludes to the aggressively physical games of the British public school. Art Deco locations reference imperialistic ambitions that have determined the role of the ‘soldier’, and that have led to the racism and violence ‘exhibited’ in the Abu Ghraib images.
