After the Future: A Homage to Bifo (Live Performance)

After the Future: A Homage to Bifo is a performed talk in which a performer copies (without prior rehearsal) words and movements from a video which shows Franco ‘Bifo’ Berardi explaining key concepts from his book After the Future (2011). The performance asks where meaning resides - in the body, in the voice, in gestures, in words, in spoken or written language, in movement language, in languages of the body. Furthermore, the performance questions how the act of copying opens up space for multiple interpretation, association and agency for an audience, and how this impacts on the way meaning is made and un-made in performance.
