That's what it's all about

the future is unwritten is a group of modern revolutionaries. They are united by one goal: to save Europe from fascist rule. Their battlefield is the digital space. They are hackers, scientists and influencers.  In their fight for social justice, they must inform, agitate, infiltrate, instigate and ask themselves whether the end justifies all means. 

That's why you should come 

The digital age is both an opportunity and a risk. An opportunity for democratic processes and growth, but also a risk for the destabilization of democracy. the future is unwritten shows what role activism can play in a democratic society that has to assert itself against a New Right. Because we are all helping to shape the future of our democracy.

Pssst!

the future is unwritten is staged in the live film theater aesthetic typical of Björn Gabriel and Studio Trafique: analog acting meets cameras, video projections, light and sound design. In this visually intricate production, the complexity of our times is captured and made tangible to the senses.
