Glass Hill presents an Arc Iris Movie Night: iTMRW.
∆
iTMRW is a 90-minute multimedia science fiction production that combines the music of Arc Iris’ recent futuristic concept album, iTMRW, with the contemporary dance theater of HDC Dance Ensemble choreographed by Danielle Davidson.
The year is 2080. iTMRW, the love story of Robert and his android partner, Jenny, unfolds against the backdrop of a world where advanced technology is both a source of and a “cure” for human alienation: advertisements come in the form of “pop-up thoughts,” entire cities float on islands of trash, female forms are purchased and discarded at will, and aristocrats live in a state of debauchery and despair. The piece takes its title from iTMRW, the mega-corporation that produces and sells every single product known to man. Despite societal chaos, the human spirit persists in its quest for love.
“The show unspools a color-saturated vision of the year 2080, in which … the future looks synthetic and soulless. Still, like a rose through concrete, the human spirit won’t be suppressed.” - BOSTON GLOBE
