10 Backwards
Dates:
25/05/1999 - 26/05/1999
10 Backwards was a 70 minute performance combining live and pre-rendered mixes of video projected at either end of a traverse stage. The performance used a narrative as a way of looking at ideas of the future. A woman travels ten years into the future; within an hour of arrival she is sucked back to the present bearing an illness in which she suffers from non-stop deja vu. Amidst flash guns, video landscapes and early techno, she sets about fighting her condition.
"... 10 Backwards, is an exploration of deja vu... Most of us experience deja vu from time to time, but can only imagine what it must feel like if taken to an extreme reailsation. Forcing common-place speculation into a piece of brutal reality is what makes Blast Theory so exhilarating." Metro Life, 11 May 1999
