Synopsis
In the interests of peace is a comical satire that unhinges the dilemma of combat soldiers carrying out peacekeeping roles. Set in Timor Leste (East Timor) during the 2006 Crisis, this delightful puppet play features a cross-cultural cast of finely crafted puppets, and is a sharp insight into the often untold local community experience of peacekeeping. In the interests of peace is a hilarious and mindful work featuring performance by Timorese artists and a bilingual narrative. In the interests of peace celebrates laughter against adversity and reveals the twisted reality of political circumstance.
