Synopsis
On 2 April 1982, special forces of the Argentine army landed near Port Stanley, the capital of the Malvinas Islands, to claim sovereignty over this Atlantic archipelago, which until then had been ruled by Britain. This operation gave rise to a military conflict that resulted in the defeat of the South American country before the European power, the fall of the dictatorial regime that ruled Argentina, the death of more than a thousand people and a series of post-war traumas that continue to this day. Now, Lola Arias (also actress, composer, theatre director) takes up again that forgotten conflict with her personal style, as eclectic as herself. Six veterans, three for each side of that war, talk about their memories of that time but forget if what they expect is a production to use, Theater of War goes much further.
