Imagined Future Benefit

100 chairs, two performers, one towering structure. A theatrical duet which
deals with power struggles and contemporary chaos, Imagined Future
Benefit asks: when we build, what do we destroy?

Using the chairs, the performers tease, topple, defy, rebuild and disrupt.
The battle is at once violent and tender. Each struggles for reign.

A work-in-progress.
