Review: The Storming by the Insurrections Ensemble

Abstract

The idea of a storm condenses the anxieties of past sorrow, present distress, and future devastation. To call a production The Storming locates a predicament in the present continuous; as ongoing; as not yet resolved. It also suggests agency and a utopian instant from within a maelstrom: the storming of a bastion which needs to fall. In our present conjuncture, the world seems to be in the midst of resolving all senses of the word.
