The climate crisis has found its place somewhere between resigned acceptance and apocalyptic noise. Where others give up, KRA comes to Prishtina with its own mission: this time, against the climate crisis. Their headquarters is a garage, where fast cars, old tools and big dreams meet. KRA starts the action with an Austrian figurehead at the center: Arnold Schwarzenegger. Bodybuilder, Terminator, Governor and Advocate for environmental issues – the very symbol of strength. Muscles, power, masculinity, we've seen them too often. They've failed too often. KRA is taking over. KRA terminates pollution and invites you to be a part of their first action film. Mission Arnold Schwarzenegger is a participatory performance and live film shoot - directly in the public space. Members of the public become part of the film crew; someone can become an extra in this action film about climate heroes, while the city itself turns into a movie set. Through humor, play, and action, KRA explores the myths of old heroes, the longing for simple solutions, and the ideas of masculinity that still influence how we imagine change. Who really inspires change? Moreover, what happens when we try to become heroes ourselves?
