Each week at Northern Stage different artists created exhibitions, installations and performances that imagine a more creative, sustainable and fun future!
What will buildings be like in the future? Where and how will we live? Could you build a utopia?
Audience had the opportunity to contribute by designing their own future world, where anything is possible. #selfbuildutopias #northernstage
WHAT WAS ON?
TUE 7 - SUN 12 AUG
No really, if you could have anything, if you could make the world exactly as you wanted, what would you want? Together we will try to imagine now we'd like our lives to be and our desires will be displayed on posters.
FRI 22 JUN - SUN 1 JUL
Picture a map of your city. Think of the names of its streets and paths. Rename a street of your choice after a hope or ambition for the future. Help them draw a city of dreams.
TUE 3 - MON 9 JUL
In the near future, our buildings will share some of the features of living systems. They will be able to sense us and respond to our presence. They will know who we are and what we need. Our buildings will become monsters for living in, which we will inhabit among organs that care for and protect us. Step into our monster through its mouth, experience its many organs, and hope to escape through its tail.
THU 16 - SUN 19 AUG
If you could built your own palace, what would it be like? During the pop-up installation you could discover different palaces on different days. Beccy Owen's palace of songwriting, Brendan Murphy's palace of glass musical instruments, Alex Elliott's anti-palace of broken dreams or Pady O'Connor's palace of play.
