Futur(s) is a collective performance inspired by Yannis La Macchia’s graphic novel Naturellement. A theatre becomes a cyberpunk fiction where a digital virus seeps into the real: audiences wear mixed‑reality headsets and move through backstage, rehearsal rooms, the foyer and the stage, skirting the boundary between virtual and physical. Encounters with 3D characters, a sea that floods the auditorium and a dancer who animates avatars craft an immersive hybrid of live performance and digital creation set in 2056.
