London, UK. 12th September 2017. Robyn (Rebecca Peyton) hands Zac (Tom Ross-Williams) a down payment fro a Euroofighter in #ArmingTheWorld, a project by Ice & Fire theatre and Teatro Vivo with designer Takis at the first performance of their satirical weapons catwalk show spreading information about Defence and Security Equipment International (DSEI) to the general public in London at Woolwich Arsenal with actors dressed as arms dealers, a Paveway IV Missile, a Eurofighter Typhoon and CS Gas. They presented a great deal of information about how the arms trade operates, including massive subsidies from the UK taxpayer, and the disastrous effect of these weapons sold by UK firms to Saudi Arabia, the USA, Libya, Turkey and a total of 190 countries around the world. UK made weapons are used in virtually every conflict around the world, often by both sides, and cause untold suffering and are used to attack political opponents, protesters and even refugees. The UK is the world's second largest arms exporter after the USA. This was the first of a series of performances at six venues around central London is timed to coincide with the DSEI arms fair.
