Only you know if we made it or not! (World Premiere)

HochX Entenbachstr. 37, München, Deutschland

Emre Akal and his team ask for it, starting from an omnipresent end time mood: What comes after the imaginable future, after the collapse of liberal democracy and old Europe as we knew it? In a formally abstract world of images, they let the future rub against the past, dig the people of tomorrow in the rubble of memory in order to create the design of a society for tomorrow from the ruins of the past - always remembering: What are we leaving behind as society today, the people of the future, and will we have learned from our mistakes? What remains of... us?
