REmember the Future

REmember the Future is a 'New Music Theater' installation inspired by feminist rituals and séance techniques. These in turn have been used to connect with the dead since the Spiritualist movement. The installation uses these techniques as an artistic means - not to communicate with the past - but with the future. Under the direction of Till Wyler von Ballmoos, performers Marie Delprat and Katelyn King develop isolated séances as the audience is led through the space and transported into a realm of religious futurism. Medium and message are challenged in their ability to reach humans 10,000 years from now and are tested by the acoustic instruments and electronic sounds, the performers and their doubles, and the visual and the imperceptible of their future selves. Our communication channels with the future, are not only messages and warnings about, for example, our present human failures, but also inspiration and feedback, elicited by our communicative actions in relation to their own future responses.
