Bring The Bono Back

I made this performance for Liverpool Biennial's Future City symposium.  The brief was to work with a newly gathered 'Future Library' consisting of 122 texts, and create a 15 minute performance.

My approach was to appropriate selections from the library, using the word "NOW" to cut through the vast amount of texts and create a script of constant immanence.  I worked with actors Nicholas Burke, Maisie Newman and Lydia-Grace Searle to realise the script as a performance.
