“Dancing with the Future” pushes the boundaries of art and science, fusing dance, evolutionary dynamics, and an interactive game. In this production, five dancers and two scientists explore the mechanisms of cooperation and investigate a question that is at the heart of all sustainable development, yet remains widely elusive because it entails a moral component that cannot easily be assessed: are humans able to cooperate with future generations? In other words, what kind of planet are we willing to leave behind for the people who come after us?
