Future Astronauts

Pulling together some of New Zealand’s best emerging artists, Involuntary Stage Rage brings you this highly experimental, off-beat, peculiar, comical and extremely original contemporary work. Mixing it up with dance, acting, acrobatics and poetry, prepare to witness the cutting edge of new arts practice.

Future Astronauts is an exploration of the human race surviving in a world full of Scientific, Religious and Social manipulation, where in order for us to discover our real selves, we must first destroy “our selves.”

On the 2nd-5th of March, BATS Theatre will play host to a world of eccentric beauty, filled with bizarre objects, which the performers will skillfully and ever-so-creatively interact with.

Come join us

in the late hours of the evening

between the lines of reality and dream

watch us drink from the portraits

of all we could have ever been

see us hang them one by one from the ceiling

discard some arms and a leg

then we will run the bath

and let it flow

like the conversations in our head

that have not yet been said

Powerfully moving and articulately crafted, Producer/Choreographer Kyah Dove’s spectacular debut turns breathtaking imagery, accelerating dance and acrobatics, obscure acting, and way-out poetry into a show like nothing you have seen before.

Future Astronauts is NOT TO BE MISSED!
