The Posthuman: Human reality begins to lose relevance. Separate worlds begin to merge

Future Futures Episode 5: The Posthuman — Human reality begins to lose relevance. Separate worlds begin to merge into an unknown future as represented by two entities moving as one – seeking to find part of themselves in one another. How do we bring our physical bodies with us into our inevitably digitally-bound futures? Future Futures' 5 short dance films explore our digital destiny.

The experimental series collapses time to portray human culture at an unprecedented moment: the emergence of a new, autonomous and intelligent being — the digital reflection and culmination of ourselves. In a state of mass transition, and forced into a bizarre coexistence alongside this growing presence, the remaining population of embodied "real" humans confront their own fears and curiosity of this new dawn while grieving what might be left behind in their looming obsolescence. Through its otherworldly imagery, choreography, and driving electronic score, Future Futures is a strange, highly visual, and compellingly watchable exploration into what we are if no longer tied to our physical bodies, and how we will define humanity when being faced with a fading IRL existence.
