With the NEA defunded and the US officially at war, a trio of artists set out to build a utopia together in the ruins of a sub-tropical hotel. NEXT YEAR PEOPLE is part faux documentary- an exploration of what it means to make work together in a new political climate, and part improvised party- a bacchanalian unraveling of our best laid plans. Katie Bender and Gabrielle Reisman, of Austin’s immersive theatre collective, Underbelly (Alice in Wonderland, Church of the Passionate Cat), join Rachel Mars (Our Carnal Hearts, Fusebox 2016) in this workshop of a new piece about the search for meaningful community in the rising shadow of social destruction. Like the farmers who rode out the Dust Bowl in the Texas Panhandle, sure that the next year would bring better weather, NEXT YEAR PEOPLE pushes at the limits of hope. It tracks our shared desire to live multiple lives at once through bad robot dance, braided choral narrative, and one fly-by-night utopia.
A multi disciplinary performance using Jerome Morrison’s motion based art with dance and music.
