Progetto Manifattura
F*cking Future
National premiere
A central stage. Four sides for the audience, like an enclosure that does not confine. At the centre, the collective marches, closes ranks, disperses. The bodies oscillate between militancy and militarisation: «We are the rythm you want to erase, we are the fire you wanted to chase". They sing, they shout, they resist. The emptiness expands the space in which identity is exposed; it is not a secure advance. It is the courage of bodies alive with desire and discipline; it is movement that cuts through with the disarming gaze of those who are absent.
F*cking Future offers no promise of redemption: it presents us with uncertain terrain, inviting us to make mistakes, to doubt, and to move forward.
