Each war deepens social divisions, yet each has the potential to lead to a breakthrough in human and societal renewal. Based on real-life experiences with war-affected populations and combatants, and grounded in academic and professional expertise in global peace and security, this multi-media performance combines theatre, dance, poetry, music, visual art and dialogue with the audience to bring to life the volatile dynamics of war and the potent potential for peace.

This event is a joint project of the University of Oxford (CCW, CIS and OxPeace) and the Graduate Institute, Geneva. It forms part of the OxPeace Annual Conference and is open to the public. Further information: www.ccw.ox.ac.uk; www.politics.ox.ac.uk.
