The Under the Radar Festival will no longer be? Break, break my heart. That was where I saw perspective-altering shows from the Belarus Free Theater, and Manual Cinema, and Back to Back, for starters. NYC is feeling increasingly less hospitable to the adventurous theatermaker.
“Both sides are crazy” isn’t a neutral or impartial position when one side is arguing for the oppression and elimination of marginalized people and the other side is arguing for letting people live their lives in peace. It’s just a callous attempt to evade moral integrity.
