In 2023, a creative team consisting of the theater group 8lidí and artist Jiří Žák presented the theatrical production We Love Shooting at the Display Gallery, to which this publication is dedicated. It takes the production itself as a starting point for broader reflections on the play’s themes, such as the history of the Czechoslovak and Czech arms industry and its exports to countries of the Global South, or the close relationship with Syria during the era of real socialism. In addition to the author’s reflection on creative strategies in the creation of documentary theater that addresses complex issues, the book examines “our” attitude toward weapons, war, militarization, geopolitics, and refugeehood from the perspective of disciplines such as artistic research, historiography, the sociology of visual culture, and political science. We Love Shooting engages in a polemical dialogue with the notion of the Czech Republic as a non-violent, peaceful country inhabited by people with a “dove-like” nature. How does this notion align with the reality of a robust arms industry that has been a tradition in our country since the 19th century? What do we export abroad, and why? And where, exactly, does violence reside?
