The Insulted Plays

<p><em>The Insulted Plays</em> make up a tetralogy that begins in a state of strife in the Russia of 2017, goes on to inhabit the vortex of a transformational Belarus, and ends at an Archimedean point to the planet Earth itself.<br></p><p>Like an “all against all,” <em>Insulted. Russia</em> tracks the sharp divisions in society — a dissevering that is fated for clashes.<br></p><p>Beginning on election night, 2020, <em>Insulted. Belarus </em>dramatizes the birthing of a body politic and the vicious, abortive intervention in response to it.<br></p><p>The <em>Voices of the New Belarus</em> resound as the groundswell of the nation: a polyvocal, verbatim chorus that attests to the blood-stained aftermath of widespread protests. Their voices form a pillar of every kind of strength.<br></p><p>Like a microcosm suspended in the cosmos, the space capsule of <em>Insulted. Planet</em> houses an international crew that is riven by historical tensions and pitched by a sudden war on Earth.<br></p><p>Although animated by acts that strike like a slap in the face of our humanity, <em>The Insulted Plays</em> direct us on — to decency, hope, fellow-feeling.<br><br></p>
