1/29 : Insurgent Theatre: Ulises' Crewmen @ IMC

Urbana Champaign Independent Media Center
January 29th, 2010
Admission: $5 Donation
Start Time: 7:30pm

A militant dissenter abuses her hostage from the US delegation while faintly aware of the audience surrounding her. This claustrophobic scene creates a space for radical introspection, defiant theatre and tactical conversations. With only a few props, two actors, one of who is bound and gagged, and a serious commitment to DIY politics, Insurgent Theatre refutes ancient dogmas found in Homer's Odyssey and examines the psychosexual underpinnings of empire and rebellion.

Written by Ben Turk
Starring Kate Pleuss and Ben Turk

Music by Mark Enslin will combine a shredded avant flamenco guitar piece, Church Committee testimony with toys & percussion, and a wall of idiosyncratic keyboard...

ON TOUR SINCE SEPT 09 Insurgent Theatre has staged over 30 performances of Ulysses’ Crewmen in various theatres, bars, infoshops, and other non-traditional spaces accross the US, including a performance in Pittsburgh during the G20 summit protests on Oct 24th.
