executive production ALDES
Tomorrow’s Parties is a playful, poignant and at times delirious look forwards to futures both possible and impossible. On a stage framed by coloured fairground lights, this seemingly minimal performance soon reveals itself as a low-fi theatrical explosion. Two performers enjoy the pleasure of invention as their suppositions take them in different directions.
From utopian and dystopian visions, science fiction scenarios, political nightmares and absurd fantasies, Forced Entertainment deliver a thought-provoking survey of hopes and fears as they speculate about what the future might bring.
More than a decade after the debut of Tomorrow's Parties, ALDES and Forced Entertainment have decided to translate and restage it (for the first time, not in the original language) so as to make this little masterpiece accessible to Italian audiences as well without the obstacle of overtitles.
After tours in Europe, the U.S. and Australia, the performance arrives in Italy with some of the leading performers of the contemporary Italian scene on stage.
