For those of you who missed the Insurgent Theater’s theatrical production of “Ulysses’ Crewmen” in September, the Peace Education Center will host the radical drama group for an encore performance this coming Tuesday, October 27, 2009, at 7:30 p.m. at the Unitarian Universalist Ulysses' Crewmen will be performed at the Unitarian Universalist Church on October 27, 2009
More Details about Performance:
PRESENTATION: A 60 minute two-person play, to be performed surrounded in close quarters by an intimate audience on the same floor level. A chair. A gun. A radio. Two actors.
The show is intense, high energy, and contains strong language.
THE SITUATION: Ulysses’ Crewmen have mutinied. The captain has been captured and the moral of Homer’s tale has been reversed. All the mutineers perished but one, who is now left alone with the hero of all western civilization struggling against obsolete morality and the impossibility of ethical action.
MESSAGE FROM INSURGENT THEATER: We join the struggle against imperial political economies arranged by bureaucratic trade regimes that make us all complicit in the exploitation and destruction of others. We use Homer’s Odyssey as a framework to stage these struggles as a single claustrophobic scene between two people, one of whom is bound and gagged.
The Lansing audience in September gave the play rave reviews, a reaction that has been expressed throughout the Insurgent Theater’s Midwest tour. I hope you can join us on Tuesday.
