No Future

Adam cannot visualise the future. All he sees in front of him is the past.

After returning home to find his flat ransacked, the scene of the crime becomes a scene of visiting ghosts. He finds a series of clues that tell him who he is. While London keeps on building, his hometown in the North East is being quietly demolished. Having never felt this far away from home, he abandons the world of the present to investigate what might have been.

…a meditation on hauntings, inheritance and the significance of a life lived both on the margins and to the full. - Lyn Gardner

Inspired by conversations with CPT’s local communities, No Future is a multi-dimensional project that bridges film, theatre and installation. It is about vision, restoring order, and the past coming to meet you.

It’s a strange, unresolved and discomfiting work – a memory play that feels like REM sleep, as dreams swirl into being and the brain whirs to make sense of everything that’s happened - **** The Stage

We worked with the team to define what sort of online presence the production should have - how the audience could be brought into the world of the show. We then provided streaming servers and camera kit to the production, and operated the show live each night.
