The Insulted Plays

The Insulted Plays 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.

Like an "all against all," Insulted. Russia tracks the sharp divisions in society -- a dissevering that is fated for clashes.

Beginning on election night, 2020, Insulted. Belarus dramatizes the birthing of a body politic and the vicious, abortive intervention in response to it.

The Voices of the New Belarus 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.

Like a microcosm suspended in the cosmos, the space capsule of Insulted. Planet houses an international crew that is riven by historical tensions and pitched by a sudden war on Earth.

Although animated by acts that strike like a slap in the face of our humanity, The Insulted Plays direct us on -- to decency, hope, fellow-feeling.
