Sanctuary presents Sergio Castillo's RADICAL at HERE Arts Center

cIt has never sat well with me that Americans fetishize civil disobedience in political struggles. The proposition that violence is never an answer seems to ignore the paradox of history entirely. It seeks to uphold a status quo where marginal victories are seen as triumphs rather than mere concessions. But when does violence become an appropriate political option? This is an idea I have been wrestling with in my own mind for many years. Radical is the story of willingly forgotten past lives, dangerous secrets, and it dares to pose the question of when violence becomes a legitimate form of political resistance. We don't know and have no control over how history will define our era, but if Fascism in America has indeed taken its fullest and most dangerous form to date, there will soon come a day when an even more pressing question will have to be asked: Which side are you on? Don't answer yet, for the only middle ground regarding this question is uncertainty.
