DEATH OF NATIONS: The Trailer is an imagistic, world-spanning epic that
brings bedraggled South American currency speculators together with
soldiers and filmmakers lost in the jungle, Thai traditional dancers, and
political scientists in a steel cage match over the ontological meaning
of war. A 90 minute sneak preview of International WOW’s four-part
DEATH OF NATIONS play cycle (premiere: August, 2005), which has been
developed over the past three
years in Bali, Thailand, the Philippines, Japan, and New York City.
