Do you remember the 2020s?
The awful clothing, the weird phones, the plastic straws? The seasons? There was still snow, I remember watching skiing videos on social media; we spent days doing nothing just scrolling through these posts. And there was already some basic form of AI…Chat…something? Because it was just chatting.
But people were still meeting each other in person. I bet politicians were not such idiots. There were so many opportunities. Also, I remember that my phone could last a day without charging. Things were not this complicated back then.
I was so young and so full of fear and hope and confusion.
2060 is an interdisciplinary performance about the not-so-far future based on the imagination of the youth of today. Gen Z and Alpha are soon to grow up into this utopian (or dystopian?) future, and live in a reality that evokes fear, anxiety, excitement, ignorance, hope, or despair, depending on who you ask. Between fantasies of space travel and climate crisis, digital and analogue worlds, androids, avatars and plastic straws, 2060 is a high definition panorama of what kind of a future the youth of today will live in a couple of years.
