Re-imagining a Brightly Lit Future

Re-imagining a Brightly Lit Future: theatre action for movement, sound, video and light.

I believe that in twenty or thirty years someone will find a solution for this.

As the earth heats up, the orchestra continues to play but the titanic is sinking. Beyond the deniers and idiots, and whoever or whatever can be blamed, there is little doubt that life on earth is entering a phase of drastic realignment. Environmental catastrophe won’t end life on earth but…..don’t worry it will all be fine, soon enough someone will find a solution.

Reimagining a Brightly Lit Future is an interdisciplinary commentary on societal paralysis and cynical manipulation in the face of slow-moving disaster. Movement, sound, text, light and video point toward a dystopian present where we watch the destruction from the comfort of our living rooms while relaxed and sedated.

It starts with the physical language of personal dysfunction as expressed in the choreography, and combines it with fittingly intense and futuristic light and electronic sound, while the video elements recall a nostalgically simpler time where easy good vs evil equations made sense of a complex world.

Reimagining a Brightly Lit Future is inspired by the absurd contemporary landscape to work within a tragicomic framework where no outcome, however ridiculous, is unthinkable.
