Bulgarian dance performance Fantastic Futures (FF) debuts in Spain

The dance performance Fantastic Futures (FF), which was warmly received in Bulgaria at the One Dance festival in May, is preparing to premiere in Spain! On September 26, it will be shown in the assembly hall of the University of La Laguna. Tickets are already available on the hall's website.

Fantastic Futures (FF) is a new choreographic work by Alexander Georgiev, a continuation of his previous research in the performances "The Power of S", "Screensaver" and "Atrás". In these works, the author explores queer nostalgia, radical softness, and a political view "from behind," where observation becomes a form of protest. The performance was created with the support of the National Culture Fund of Bulgaria, Toplocentrala, One Dance Festival, Cabildo de Tenerife, the Government of the Canary Islands, and LAV-Canarias.

In FF, nostalgia is not just a memory of the past, but a tool for creating a shared queer future. The performance questions the established notion of history and proposes to rethink it through the prism of desires, sentimentality, and imagination. It is not about demanding a place, but about recognizing that it has always existed, having a queer nature. The performance moves gently, slowly, and with radical tenderness, which is a kind of punk gesture.

The performance features actors from different countries: Darío Barreto, Katerina Varela, Martín Los Arcos, and Alexander Georgiev himself. The original music was written by Tsvetan Momchilov, and the scenography was created by the artist from the Canary Islands, Héctor León.

FF is a performance about the possibility of a more tender world. Activist and artist Daniasa Curbelo, who participated in the creation of the performance, says: "Will tenderness be possible when the world as we know it disappears? I think so. Just as it survived conquests, genocides, and nuclear wars, tenderness will reappear among the ruins of the society in which we live."
