F.U.T.U.R.A. year 3018.
after the apocalypse, what will the world bring forth? the festival imagines a world one thousand years after an apocalypse, using speculative time, installations and dystopic happenings to question what kind of meanings, bodies, and communicative systems will survive catastrophic collapse.  in telecommunications, redundancy increases the likelihood of proper message delivery despite noise and disturbance. in linguistics, what is unnecessary becomes redundant: those elements that may deceive or alter the true meaning / may this mantra resound in acts of faith. redunDantia (ab_original) is a performance and site-specific installation designed and conceived for the concept of F.U.T.U.R.A. 3018 and for the urban landmark of porta santi quaranta, commissioned by subsculture and rete dei festival di treviso. the gesture draws inspiration, on one hand, from studies and direct observation of the bees’ dance as a metaphor for broader social communication within community counterparts through material-based engagement and binary language encoded by spatial layout (rows articulated as bits within a binary sequence); on the other, from aboriginal rituals of rebirth from the dreamtime,  which address our presence as a social insect-like body. the work invites the audience to engage with raw matter by a processual dance as a primitive form of embodiment, projected into a post-catastrophic landscape materials: white raw clay, 16 infested honeycombs, 3000 handmade raw clay balls (aerosol painted), textiles, led lights artists involved: medina zabo, francesca nesteri artistic implementation: medina zabo supported by: bando sedicitrenta, comune di treviso / progetto giovani treviso curatorship: subsculture photography: shana carrara venue advice: subsculture, comune di treviso
