And All the Question Marks Started to Sing is the opening event of FuturePerfect 2011, a new performance, media, art & technology initiative in New York City. Produced in partnership with leading national and international cultural institutions, FuturePerfect highlights new hybrid performance practices, media forms and artistic ideas that emerge as digital technologies and other non-human systems become increasingly inseparable from contemporary culture. Wayne Ashley is FuturePerfect’s Founding Artistic Director.

And All the Question Marks Started to Sing is co-presented with Dance Theater Workshop and Performance Space 122. Performances will take place in Dance Theater Workshop’s Bessie Schönberg Theater (219 West 19th Street) Thursday – Saturday, February 24 - 26, at 7:30pm; and Sunday, February 27 at 5pm.

In 2011, it will be 25 years since Verdensteatret’s 1986 founding. The group is recognized as one of the leading Norwegian art collectives, known for surprising uses of new and old technologies in the making of contemporary theater, performance and art. Verdensteatret’s works are presented internationally in a variety of contexts, including galleries, music festivals and theaters.

Based in Oslo and led by Lisbeth J. Bodd and Asle Nilsen, Verdensteatret has long had strong ties to the European, especially German, theatrical tradition that includes Brecht, Walter Benjamin and Heiner Müller. Following experiments in fields such as visual performance, environmental theater and text-based theater, the group has recently tended toward the ambitiously interdisciplinary. Today, Verdensteatret consists of video artists, computer animators, sound engineers, musicians, artists and a painter, among others. They collaborate in what they call a “flat structure” where “everyone has a hand in with everything.”

Verdensteatret’s members are: Lisbeth J.Bodd, Asle Nilsen, Håkon Lindbäck, Piotr Pajchel, Kristine R. Sandøy, Christian Blom, Eirik Blekesaune, Espen Sommer Eide, Hai Nguyen Dinh, Øyvind B. Lyse, Thorolf Thuestad, Ali Djabbary, Hans J. Skogen, and Gjertrud Jynge.

Performance @ Teatro La Limonaia, Sesto Fiorentino (Florence, Italy) with Alessandra Palma di Censola. Curator Fiorella Nicosia. Video by Pier Giorgio De Pinto.
Are the future or the past as real as the present? Does time flow or lapse or pass? These metaphysical questions have been debated for more than two millennia, with no resolution in sight... In the video a dance where the body runs after himself, it appropriates itself, absorbs a physical body to rid itself of or to follow its evolutions." Who runs after who, who follows who? The past on the present, the present on the future?
