What is our relationship with the future?<\/strong>
This performance flows from anxiety to defiance, diving into darkness and intense light.
A gaze into the dark sky clarifies all doubts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

Preparation for the Present<\/strong> addresses the emotional navigation of challenges posed by the climate crisis. Its structure is based on a sequence of (affective, physical, cognitive) exercises as a kind of training for catastrophes \u2013 both imaginable and unimaginable \u2013 grounded in present-day realities and historical experiences. The performance consciously plays with the absurdity and impossibility of such a task in the face of uncertain consequences wrought by decades of slow violence under fossil capitalism and extractivist logic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Immersed in darkness, allowing flashes of white light, the work is concerned with the overwhelming emotions that emerge across a spectrum \u2013 from anxiety and apathy to readiness and resistance. It embraces this disorder and its irresolvability, as well as the frustration of conflicting decisions about how we spend our present time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Preparation for running, scarcity, or heat is just as important as preparation for endurance, embrace, and persistence \u2013 all in the hope that a community of friends can withstand the rhythms and challenges that lie ahead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
