FutureNow

With FutureNow, aimed at all the young at heart, aged 7 to 77, Yuval Pick reactivates everyone’s childlike imagination.

Yuval Pick’s piece, FutureNow, refocuses on questions and themes that are fundamental to everyone’s existence: childhood, the roots of subjectivity, self-construction and creativity. The choreographer began by asking his dancers a few simple, concrete questions: ‘How was I creative as a child? When did I feel different when I was young?

He asked his dancers to extract a key turning point from their memories. To rediscover one of those points of support, or intimate foundations, that form the core of their subjectivity, their own way of seeing, apprehending and experiencing the world. If we ask ourselves these questions, we will all rediscover a childhood moment, brief or long, a life experience, an initiative, a refusal, a new way of speaking, a thought, where our ‘I’ took on a new bent, a new direction and a new impetus.
