When dancing; how much are our minds wondering? How much of our understanding of the world is built on how we fantasized the world to be as we grew up?
We are often told to be in a ‘now’ from a performative perspective, but what is this ‘now’ built of?
How do we construct it and how does it appear?
In music; variation and ornaments gives an understanding of where we are in listening to it. How we relate to music, what has happen or what we expected to happen? Music plays with how we understand the ‘now’ and gives different angles to it. One can say it opens up a spatial relation to the ‘now’. But what about the understanding of the precent as composing of time and time loops.
As Mikael grew up he was really in to sci fi, time travel loops and concepts that where indescribable or that belonged to the unknown of existing. Jenny has also over the last years taken an interest to this genre.
The future is upon us. We took time to try to understand this from the aesthetics of art. Embracing the absurdity that this seams to be the only thing that makes sense right now, no matter how foolish it might be.

Dancing on the Margins of Climate Change 
Really interesting. i wonder if it could be possible to perform something like this without the talking, just with the subtitles (different colour or different place for each performer) – it would question what is real, what is now, what is past, memory, recorded.
