Abstract

Anne Richie makes use of performance to condemn extra-judicial killings in the Philippines. These murders of peasant leaders, student activists, journalists and indigenous peoples are alleged to be politically motivated. Making use of testimonies and personal accounts of the victims' families, loved ones, friends, or neighbors, she demonstrates how the killings caused misery among Filipinos and how these human rights violations affected their views on social justice. An image theatre activity and a dialogue with the audience will follow the performance.
