The future is dark which is the best thing a future can be is a performance–board game that seeks critical ways of engaging with the urgencies of contemporary reality while activating alternative speculations about the future. Three players, guided by two facilitators, move like pawns across a floored landscape of stations of knowledge/ notions such as The Palace of Feminist Governance, The Rock of Responsibility, and The Cavern of Care, and through scores, they produce poetic manifestoes, imaginary narratives, critical questions, and embodied landscapes. The project investigates the relationship between the logic of a board game and choreographic thinking, blurring the line between performing arts and everyday life, proposing a horizontal redistribution of agency and power hierarchies. Drawing on the performativity and aesthetics of the (90s) TV game shows, the performance activates an open, vulnerable, and playful space for dialogue, reflection, and collective imagination.
