FUTUR4

About
What does one generation expect from the next? What legacy will be inherited? Is it even possible to compare the experiences of young people today with those from 50 years ago? And what about the youth of 50 years from now?
One of the two protagonists of this documentary work comes from Transylvania and was bought out of Romania by the Federal Republic of Germany in the 1970s - “without a receipt”, without an option to return, disconnected from her own history. 50 years and many turning points later, she enters into a dialog on stage with an AI expert and various simulations of herself - modeled with AI on the basis of private and historical data. A science fiction that can be experienced.
New futures are constantly being designed from the patterns of the past, questioning expectations and possibilities in equal measure.
What does the ‘right to one's own past and history’ (Herta Müller) do to the ability to shape the future?
What can, what does the next generation want to know? How will it relate to what was? How can it be measured against it as it approaches? What processes of change do cultural identities undergo? How are they disrupted, modified, contained?
Every evening, the play cuts its way further into a present that was still the future during previous performances.
Futur4 is the third part of a series of monologues following ‘Black Tie’ (2008) and ‘Quality Control’ (2013).
