Make Love not War
Performance by Young PATHOS Collective
In 1969, John Lennon and Yoko Ono protested against the Vietnam War by spending ten days in bed. Their message to the world: "Make love not war". Together with a young generation, they believed in the transformative power of love - not only in interpersonal relationships, but also in society as a whole. Unfortunately, nothing has changed to this day. Wars still exist. So is love not the strongest power after all?
Is it perhaps more like a book with seven seals that you make your fingers bloody trying to open?
Or is love just love?
To find out, nine young actors from the YPK confront their mixed feelings and play a game of Go with artificial intelligence: would AlphaGo Zero be prepared to give up a victory for the sake of peace?
