ABOUT THIS EVENT

In the show 'Weapons', we follow Raya and Iris, a young couple expecting their first child. As they navigate the financial pressures of their lives, Raya accepts a promotion in the booming defense industry. She believes she is working for a noble cause, advocating for Dutch weapon contracts as a means to enforce peace. However, as Raya becomes more entrenched in her role, her moral compass begins to blur, leading to tension and conflict in her relationship with Iris, who values education over weaponry. This performance, grounded in current journalistic research, sheds light on the often-hidden world of the Dutch arms industry, exploring the intricacies of political influence and economic justification while questioning where love can fit amidst spreadsheets and ethical dilemmas. **Excludes consumption.**
