What can you expect to see?

 
You walk onto a stage which is dressed in boney fragmented sculptures. Some sculptures lay on the floor, some hanging from the ceiling, some form bridge-like structures, and some make abstract architectures resembling larger than life objects which you might partially recognize from your everyday life. The space is almost all white. It conjures the cliché image you see in movies of where people go when they die, however it is haunted by the sculptures, forms which represent beyond the immediate functionality (you might think of Plato’s notion of the form of the object here).
 
There is seating for you to position yourself throughout the space, also resembling bones.
 
What follows is a 1.5 hour long dance duet. There are 2 protagonist dancers separated in space however joined together in movement. For the entire duration they execute a rough unison dance. A unison dance is when 2 people dance the same steps at the same time, however in Future Daughter this structure is slightly altered. One dancer, male presenting, is positioned as the present, and the other dancer, female/androgynous, is positioned as the future.
 
Their dance is one of echoes. We see a constant reverberation between these two bodies. The movement of the dancer in the present is always echoing into the body of the dancer in the future. The dancer in the present seems to be the central protagonist, taking up the center with the narrative revolving around them, while the dancer in the future operates more often on the peripheries in close  proximity with the audience. They dance through the situations they inherit:

An underlying anxiety and paranoia. Alienation from belonging and from meaning. An intimate proximity to the brutality and violence fundamental in maintaining the privileged reality of the western world.

As the work progresses the future comes more and more into focus. What we witness is the dance of the present in the body of the future. However, this future dancer is self-aware of what is happening, and not blind to the echoes of the past. The future dancer can literally see the past, while the dancer in the present cannot see the future. The future gains space from the pure reproduction of the echoes, the pure unison. Instead, it reverberates and expresses its own choices. These choices in turn mediate the pains it receives from the past, and create a new world. Throughout the course of the dance a "bridge" is built between these 2 characters, and eventually the relationship changes.

The present somehow learns to feel the future, and to feel its movement echoing in the future body. Here, the present moves for something larger than itself. Once the present realizes this, a change in direction happens in the echoes. They reverse, with the movement of the future echoing into the body of the present. 

Each of the dancers offer the audience a different way to reflect and feel themselves. From the present they might see reflected a version of themselves, responsive to the hardships of our times, and from the dancer of the future they are offered space to reflect on the what the present gives forward to the future. An audience is given the chance to feel the touch of how their lives act in ways beyond them, and allows a speculative future to touch them back in return. A communication with an unknown future through an abstract dance of echoes.
