Performance: Insurgent Theatre "Ulysses' Crewmen"
Get there early for a set by Torry Mercer and Deconstruction Crew
A chair. A gun. A radio. Two actors. 60 minutes.
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.
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.
The show is intense, high energy, and contains strong language.
The show will begin at 6:30 with a set by Torry Mercer and the Deconstruction Crew
