What is going on in Europe? What times are we living in? In The Civil Wars, Milo Rau stages a four-voice lecture-performance about the premises of insurrection and political engagement. Following the twists and turns of their own life-stories, four actors – Karim Bel Kacem, Sara De Bosschere, Sébastien Foucault and Johan Leysen – question the human condition in Europe at the start of the 21st century.
