IMLD 25: How to Make a Tank Disappear – Screening
At the beginning of the war in Ukraine, in one Ukrainian village, a story took place that spread around the world. Even the Polish president tweeted about it. Local Roma people stole a Russian tank. One fine day, one high-tech combat vehicle became less without a single shot. There was a tank, and it swam away. Later a lot of things that shoot, explode, and kill disappeared additionally- mortars, cannons, rockets etc. In that cases not only the Romani but also other people inhabiting Ukraine have tried. In the video performance we will tell you how it happened and why Romani was not punished at all.
