A team of young people aged between 15 – 25+ are coming together this summer under the guidance of senior arts leaders, together with emerging artists, to create an interdisciplinary performance exploring ideas, concerns and dreams about their futures. This devised work, Hope: Standing on the Edge – Eying Up Our Future will be on from 24 – 25 January at the Pitt Street Theatre.
 
Zeroing in on the year 2050 the participants will consider how old they will be in 25 years, unpack where they wish to be at that age, what their hopes are and what do they think the world around them will be like at that time. What fills them with anxiety, optimism or hope?
 
From the rapid growth of AI, the predominance of social media and an increasing lack of social connectedness that’s playing out in their generation. Does their future hold possibilities for a more utopic world that brings people together in a place of improved harmony, social cohesion, equity and justice? Could the world be a place of darkness and dysfunction, or will harmony and boundless possibility prevail?
