I dream a high­way is a con­tem­po­ra­ry dan­ce per­for­man­ce with 2 dan­cers about our rela­ti­ons­hip to futu­re kin and what we offer them as inheri­tan­ce. It puts the audien­ce into the posi­ti­on of the futu­re, from whe­re they see archeo-cho­re­o­grap­hic rem­nants from the year 2026. These rem­nants are an archi­ve of the pre­sent,” refe­ren­ces from 4 con­tem­po­ra­ry dan­ce works which pre­mie­red bet­ween 2004 – 2023. They are pas­sed, like inheri­tan­ces, in an echo bet­ween a body in 2026 and one in the future.

I dream a high­way is inspi­red from the words of Nora Chipaumire, that ancestors live in your bones, and even if you lost con­nec­ti­on with them, they are the­re.” If the­re are ancestors in our bones, then sure­ly we will live in the bones of the futu­re. I dream a high­way see­ks to expe­ri­ment with this rela­ti­o­na­li­ty. Offering a lands­ca­pe for envi­si­o­ning a rela­ti­ons­hip with that which is both beyond and insi­de oneself.
