History of the Future is a four-chapter dance about memory, presence, connection and our collective capacity to embrace time’s relentless melt. In consort, four choreographers chase a dance that awaits beyond dancers. “Now” hovers at the edge of uncertainty, expectant of change. Tableaus repeat as phrases loop and evolve as a podcast plays. A last-chance table offers “feel-good-about-tomorrow” messages, a dancer disappears, arousing duets tangle and knot. Five-second actions flash moments of history; dancers perform imagined “maps” of their movement history. Each chapter is the history for the next as each dance holds the future of its past, propelling dancers head-long in a personal quest of the self they were long ago.
