Insurgency asks whether Generation Z, a cohort defined by many adults as apathetic and narcissistic, has the capacity for revolution. 5 pre-teen youth are filmed embarking on an urgent uprising, though the enemy is not immediately clear. Perhaps they are simply trying to conjure some distant memory of revolt. The footage is then screened behind them onstage while they attempt to answer the question: "What would you die for, in real life?"
