"I remember pussy riot, and Treaty. I remember the history books I started and never finished. I remember the uniforms we wore that were simple and affordable and ethically made.

A show about true futures, false memory and collective action. Inspired by Donna Haraway, Timothy Morton, and the multi-million-billion-trillion other lifeforms living and dying together in this biosphere.
A team of Melbourne and Amsterdam-based artists are collaborating across 16,000km on this project.
The first public showings were held in Amsterdam on 31 August and 1 September. A series of free public events were held in the lead up to the showings, supporting our research. More information is here.
Developed with the support of Cultureland Residency and Theatre Oostblok in the Netherlands, and Darebin Arts Centre in Australia.
Read more about the project in Amsterdam Alternative and on the Theatre Oostblok website.
