Future Cargo
★★★★"Intriguing & humorous. A deeply engaging and captivating show" Reviews Hub
A mystery shipment has arrived from an unknown location. There are reports of power surges and electromagnetic waves in the area.
As the side rolls up on a 40ft haulage truck, an enigmatic machine is revealed, and a strange and unstoppable process begins.
A compelling invitation to make contact evolves and a seduction occurs between a human and an other-worldly force.
Future Cargo is an homage to a past and a future where contact seems all too possible. It’s the acclaimed outdoor show by Frauke Requardt & David Rosenberg and combines large-scale spectacle with surprising intimacy in a sci-fi dance phenomenon performed under the stars, where audiences wear headphones to connect them to the strange world and events inside the truck.
