In a world where masculinity and militancy reign supreme and where various European countries seem to have lost sight of what democracy means, Marco da Silva Ferreira offers an alternative future. He opens the stage and invites the audience to take their seats around his arena.

F*cking Future is a vibrant exploration of themes of militancy, militarisation, masculinity, violence, and the complex interactions between patriarchal systems and emotion. On a raised four-sided stage, the show offers an immersive experience, where codes and dances from here and elsewhere come together. The choreographer immerses us in a world where every movement is a reflection on our society. Self-taught in Afro-American-influenced dance styles, he integrates these elements into a choreography for eight dancers, deploying a highly intense distillation of humanity.

Marco da Silva Ferreira is a dancer, choreographer and artistic director of Pensamento Avulso, with a unique career path. Trained as a physiotherapist and a competitive swimmer, he has always been drawn to physical practices. The transition to dance and choreography therefore seemed natural to him. During this self-taught journey, in which he learned different dance styles and intertwined them, he became the winner of the Portuguese version of the show So You Think You Can Dance. Since then, he has danced for several leading choreographers and has already created several works. His most recent creation, a Folia, was created for the Lorraine Ballet and is based on 15th-century Portuguese musical compositions.
