The heart of the exhibition starring Egyptian artist Wael Shawky is his famous puppet film trilogy Cabaret Crusades, shown for the first time in Denmark. The exhibition also presents a rich selection of other works, including puppets featured in the films, vast wooden reliefs, drawings, photographs and collages ? and an entirely new, site specific work that takes the form of a 50-metre wall. The trilogy Cabaret Crusades relate the history of the medieval Crusades in the Middle East ? seen from an Arab point of view. Taking his point of departure in original historical sources and an innovative use of marionettes, Shawky re-enacts historic events from the distant past, focusing on the complicated relationship between the West and the Middle East. He depicts a past characterised by fierce conflict and violent clashes that continue to inform the relationship between the West and Middle East today, giving us a chance to see the Crusades and our own present day in a new light.00Exhibition: ARoS Aarhus Kunstmuseum, Copenhagen, Denmark (19.05-09.09.2018).
