We are All Marlene Dietrich FOR
We are all Marlene Dietrich FOR
Performance for soldiers in peace keeping missions
by Erna Ómarsdóttir and Emil Hrvatin
We are all Marlene Dietrich FOR is created by Erna Omarsdottir and Emil Hrvatin,
together with Icelandic, Slovenian, Belgian and French dancers, musicians and performing
artists. This challenging and poetical piece is expressed through dance, theatre and live
music. The piece deals with the relationship between the artist and the soldier, entertainment
for soldiers and is a reflection of the artists themselves on their position in our
society.
We are all Marlene Dietrich FOR is a “performance for soldiers in peace keeping missions, for
everyone who cares, and for everyone who doesn’t care.”
Besides being a superstar, Marlene Dietrich is also known as probably the most famous troops entertainer in 20th century. She was liked by both American and German soldiers. For her, entertaining the troops was a moral question for the artist and her way of fighting. We are all Marlene Dietrich FOR takes Dietrich's case as the starting point to raise questions on the relation artist – soldier.
