Terrorists, guerillas, rogue soldiers beware: there is no one you can trust after that first strike. Through the transparent veneer of temporal, regional, ideological correspondences of history to the present, Shawky cuts to the nerve of life as a guerilla, as a terrorist, as a conventional warrior, universally, eternally. Shawky's films may be about the numbing terror and depraved inhumanity of the medieval Crusaders and Jihadis, but the human players and objectives are virtually the same today. For the viewer going into the films with little or no knowledge of the medieval Crusades and Jihads, see these Four Brief Yet Crucial Turning Points of the Crusades and Jihads for better understanding the Cabaret Crusades films.The Secrets of Karbala by Wael Shawky, HD video, 2015.Historical analogies aside, if every potential or active Jihadi and Crusader, or any other member of a terror cell, insurgency or militia, whether politically Left, Right or Center, would watch Wael Shawky's Cabaret Crusades before joining the cause, or before setting out for the day's objective, they might very well turn around and walk away without ever again picking up a Kalashnikov or wiring plastique.

The films of Wael Shawky's Cabaret Crusades are on view at MoMA PS1 until August 31, along with installations of selected sketches, sets and marionettes that the artist used throughout filming.
