Combining real lives and stories with fiction and performance, Minefield digs deep into the personal impact of the Falklands war.
Thursday 02 November - Saturday 11 November.
“I can tell you the story again of the wounded Argentinian soldier who died in my arms. But it won’t necessarily make me cry now. Sometimes it can feel raw again. But I keep it under control and I tell it like a story.” - Lou Armour.
What is a veteran? Survivor? Hero? Mad Man?
In Lola Arias’ Minefield six Falklands / Malvinas war veterans who once faced each other across a battlefield now face each other across a stage. Together they share memories, films, songs and photos as they recall their collective war and embody the political figures that led them into it.
Soldier, veteran, human – these men have stories to share as they take us from the horrors of war to today’s uncertainties, with brutal honesty and startling humour.
