Insurgent Theatre presents Ulysses Crewmen

Insurgent Theatre presents: "Ulysses Crewmen"
-Starring Kate Pleuss and Ben Turk
-Written by Ben Turk

This performance shot on April 15, 2010 at "The Night Heron" center in Lake Worth FL as part of the tour which began September 2009. "Ulysses Crewmen" was staged in various theatres, bars, info-shops and other non-traditional spaces across the US, including a performance in Pittsburgh during the G20 summit protests on October 24.

"Ulysses Crewmen" summary:
-A militant dissenter abuses her hostage from the US delegation while faintly aware of her 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.
