| Although many soldiers have been in war zones in recent years, we often get the same clichéd media images of the conflict´s. The individual memories and experiences that they bring home stays with them or in closed circles of therapists - and perhaps family and friends. This project disseminates some of these stories in to our local community, like a virus that spread in the society that surrounds us.The audience was invited to a specific place at a specific time and had to bring their own radios. While the group start walking together they listen to the story on their radio, and narrative pictures begins to shape around them, like a photograph evoked in the dark room. Concept & dicrection: Jörg Lukas Matthaei / Matthaei & Konsorten Actors: Around 100 people from the 3 different places where the performance played. Set design: Katrine Gjerding WAR - YOU SHOULD HAVE BEEN THERE was a co-production between Matthaei & Konsorten, Odsherred Theatre, Carte Blanche and Cantabile 2 And the show played in 3 different versions: in Høve at the festival, Mere kant end udkant 2013 on WAVS festival 2013, and in Viborg was part of Viborg Kultur Festival 2013.
