FUTURE
An exhilarating crowd-sourced vision of the future assembled by award-winning theatre-makers.
Presented as part of Melbourne Fringe Festival from 9 to 20 October, 2024 at the Festival Hub: Trades Hall
We asked hundreds of people just like you to predict the future, and we got hundreds of different answers. Some prophesied desolate wastelands while others saw a world which “looks bright… and gay. bright and gay.”
FUTURE is truly by community, for community – from the collective dreaming it fosters, to the gently participatory nature and the genuine care that is taken to meet a range of accessibility needs.

FUTURE was a devised verbatim work built from real predictions about the future, combining utopian aesthetics, visual poetry, and a lofty vision—to create a map for how to navigate the future.
FUTURE created a space to consider our fate on our own terms and imagine a future which might just turn out ok. It was an evening of fears, dreams, hopes, and laments charting a universal destiny. The future’s calling, and we need you to pick up.
PIGEONPIGEON’s attention to accessibility should be applauded
