The future is speculation.
The future doesn’t exist.
We imagine the future, constantly.
Futures exist.
The future is ‘something’ that we can’t see in ‘the present’; it’s a matter of conjecture. The idea behind this performance revolves around this contrariety. How to imagine something you haven’t seen? How to activate the necessary elements to bring about the future we’ve imagined? How to encourage the invocation of something that has not yet been experienced?
The Future… what does it say to you?
Before your fatalistic imagination kicks in, we propose an exercise in deferment.
The Future. Leave it there. Interrupt your thoughts, just stop.
And now that we’re all a bit more relaxed, let’s take a look at The Future.
