A sci-fi music and dance collaboration.
TMRW combines live music by Arc Iris and contemporary dance and performance art by HDC Dance Ensemble to satirize a post-apocalyptic world where advertisements come in the form of “pop-up thoughts” and entire cities float on islands of trash. This production combines dance, live music, animation, and pre-recorded video art to tell an absurdist story of the future of our world.
Synopsis:The year is 2080. iTMRW, the love story of Robert and his android partner, Jenny, unfolds against the backdrop of a world where advanced technology is both a source of and a “cure” for human alienation: advertisements come in the form of “pop-up thoughts,” entire cities float on islands of trash, female forms are purchased and discarded at will, and aristocrats live in a state of debauchery and despair. The piece takes its title from iTMRW (pronounced "I Tomorrow"), the mega-corporation that produces and sells every single product known to man. Despite societal chaos, the human spirit persists in its quest for love.
