F*cking Future Marco da Silva Ferreira

The friction between combativeness and militarization

F*cking Future shows the tension between combativeness and militarization. The performance examines systems that determine our bodies and behavior. On a four-sided stage, a group of dancers moves between rigidity and flexibility, discipline and desire. They search for new ways to come together and to resist. The event invites you to offer resistance by staying in motion. This results in a dynamic and thought-provoking experience.
