Echoes of Tomorrow
Echoes of Tomorrow is a dance theatre production that positions itself in the midst of the complex debate about the significance of the human body in the modern world. In a dystopian and provocative landscape, the idea of the human body as a commodity is made tangible. The piece reflects the fear of the increasing commercialisation and control of the human body by political and economic forces. In an era of media saturation and easily generated images of fear that do not always correspond to reality, we find ourselves in an age of sensations and uncertainties, where the fiction of reality is hard to distinguish. Amidst this confusion and uncertainty, Echoes of Tomorrow focuses on the body as our safe harbour and anchor point, which we can at least partially understand, and over which we can (still) have free will.
the description reflects an artist’s idea which was developed at the time it was submitted to b12. it may have changed by the time the workshop or the performance project is starting. please stay flexible. thank you!
