I hope i will – intermediale Performance
Medium: intermedia performance
Premiere: 10 April 2024
Duration: approx. 45 min.
How do we imagine a common future not only for ourselves, but also for our grandchildren? What do we hope and want to create for them? Can our hopes be fulfilled?
IHOPEIWILL explores our shared future amidst ongoing political tensions and escalating climate challenges. It conveys a sense of expectation and hope despite the prevailing global atmosphere of fear and great uncertainty.
IHOPEIWILL is an event that combines physical performance, sound design and visual installation. Each of these media works independently, side by side and simultaneously in synergy, together forming an organic whole.
The inspiration for the piece came from conversations with people in which we were interested in the look of personal, family environments and relationships across generations. What do we envision for the future, not only for ourselves, but also for the generations after us? What kind of world do we want for them and what can we do to fulfil these wishes?
IHOPEIWILL thus becomes an artistic reflection on the current development of society and our responsibility towards future generations.
