I dream a highway is a contemporary dance performance with 2 dancers about our relationship to future kin and what we offer them as inheritance. It puts the audience into the position of the future, from where they witness archeo-choreographic remnants of 4 contemporary dance choreographies created between 2004-2023. Each dance acts as an inheritance from the past and reveals a different social or political problem that has continued into the future. One dancer performs these choreographic  remnants, while the other dancer embodies the future, receiving the remnants as echoes moving through her body.

I dream a highway is inspired by the words of Nora Chipaumire, that “ancestors live in your bones, and even if you lost connection with them, they are there.” If there are ancestors in our bones, then surely we will live in the bones of the future. I dream a highway seeks to experiment with this relationality. Offering a landscape for envisioning a relationship with that which is both beyond and inside oneself.

In BUDA they rehearse in preparation for our upcoming performances. They are  currently playing, feeling, and building the relationship between the dancer in 2026 and the one in the future.
