BigMoutH — SKaGeN and Richard Jordan Productions
War, words and wondering why.
Overview
What inspires someone to go to war? We're not talking about events and ideals — we're wondering about the exact words used to rally the masses in support of combat.
Writer and performer Valentijn Dhaenens clearly pondered the same topic, resulting in his latest show featuring at WTF 2016. In BigMoutH, he stands in front of five microphones, cycles through declarations of battle, farewells, final arguments, victory speeches and eulogies, and pays tribute to 2500 years of oration. Everyone from Socrates to Mohammed Ali to Osama Bin Laden gets a mention, in a performance that both depends upon and dissects the age-old art of rhetoric.
