Has the world lost its sense of humanity ? (Video) - by Theatre of Wrong Decisions (Netherlands)
Video.
Theatre of Wrong Decisions (ToWD) is a small collective of artists in the Netherlands.
ToWD : “Theatre of Wrong Decisions can be briefly described as a fusion of visual arts and theatre. It manifests itself in short video productions critically responding to highly controversial and sensitive issues in today’s world. The video clips are closely linked to similar situations in Shakespeare’s plays. By using Shakespearean quotes the participants of ToWD are putting current issues of moral concern into a universal perspective.
How is it possible that in the global world of today the refugee has become a local problem? During and after World War I, millions of people found themselves adrift in Europe. When the Second World War ended, Europe had some 40 million refugees. Mostly, refugees were seen as honorable people and supported to build a new life. Refugees were a global responsibility that would have to be solved by the international community, through humanitarian law."
