Nomination
A Concise History of Future
The first play by a Chinese playwright selected by Berliner Festspiele Theatertreffen Stückemarkt
World Premiere
A thought of millions of people,
reverses South and North
Connected fates are the journeys swallowed by you and me...
'......Resist any linear narrative dramaturgy, using highly concentrated poetical interweaving to elaborate the cruel phantasms of a contemporary society of asynchronies......'
– Kathrin Roggla, Jury member, Berliner Festspiele Theatertreffen Stückemarkt 2016
A country on the brink of civil war. Two generations, two cities, two opposite journeys. While the entire population is fleeing towards the South, the outsider struggles to get to the North in order to fulfill his mission. Time levels intermingle. With nowhere to run or hide, where is history headed? Defying the linear narrative, witness barbarism unfold in asynchrony.
