Raja Feather Kelly: the feath3r theory (TF3T)’s The Absolute Future

The feath3r theory (TF3T)’s The Absolute Future (or Death, Loneliness, and The Absolute Future of the Multiverse, or How to Cover the Sun with Mud) is a devised danced-theater performance choreographed, written, and directed by Raja Feather Kelly. Featuring seven performers and original music composition by Christoph Mateka, The Absolute Future is about a group of friends who attempt to watch The Great American Eclipse (April 8, 2024) and miss it. In this world, a constellation of shadows come together in a daring mix of fiction, reality, fantasy, and surrealism. It’s highly physical and sharply narrative. On their journey, the friends reflect on their experiences of cultural phenomena, from Y2K through the Eclipse. Their stories, both spoken and physicalized, materialize a multiverse comprising everything—the entirety of space, time, matter, energy, information, and the physical laws and constants that describe them—ultimately landing them in a state of existential crisis.
