Lone Wolf Tribe (LWT) was created by Kevin Augustine. He applied for a grant entitled CLARION CALL, which this writer had to look up. A Clarion Call is a “direct public request for people to take action. It is something loud and clear and hard to ignore”. His Lone Wolf Tribe, which is a multi-disciplinary performance company, is a personification of this definition. Since 1997, Kevin Augustine has been fusing history, philosophy and life-size puppetry into contemporary narratives. This performance cycle will be exploring the legacy of warfare and the need for non-violence in our world. Through clowning, magic, pantomime and street based performances as well as high school visits through Veterans for Peace the LWT hopes to increase the awareness of the true costs of war. The greatest source of violence in our world is WAR and the military establishments that perpetuate it.
The Dalai Lama has stated “Most of us have been conditioned to regard military combat as exciting and glamorous – an opportunity for men to prove their competence and courage. But war is monstrous. Its very nature is one of tragedy and suffering.”
