Peace Referendum at the Table

In light of the current geopolitical situation — especially the growing pressure from the U.S. for a ceasefire at any cost and the one-sided negotiation demands directed at Ukraine — we are witnessing a dangerous normalization of distorted peace narratives.

At the same time, more than 90 so-called peace marches are taking place across Germany — including the Berlin Ostermarsch. But what appears to be pacifist engagement often reproduces Kremlin rhetoric: a ceasefire without security guarantees, neutrality in the face of aggression, and disarmament of the defenders instead of the aggressors.

They no longer target only the military support for Ukraine — but also the very ability of Europe to defend itself.

Whoever opposes European rearmament today strengthens only one actor: russia.

Our artistic action directly challenges this dangerous reinterpretation of “peace”:

“FRIEDENSVOLKSENTSCHEID — At the Table”
A satirical performance about the political distortion of the word peace.

A long table, doves in suits, ballots about “peace” — what may first appear absurd reveals a bitter truth: the term peace is being hijacked. By political forces that don’t mean peace — they mean submission.

The so-called “peace activists” are calling for an end to all arms deliveries and immediate negotiations with russia — without security guarantees, without justice, without freedom. Our performance exposes these false solutions and shows:

These “peace doves” are, in truth, harbingers of new wars.

⚠️ Note: Our performance will deliberately take place in close proximity to the Berlin Ostermarsch. We call on all participants to behave peacefully and respectfully. No confrontations — our critique is artistic and unambiguous.

👔 Dress code: a’la suit – white shirt, black tie. Or simply a discreet black-and-white look.
