The Ballet of the Greek National Opera, in co-production with the renowned The Place, London, and Third Version Creative, presents Future Cargo, a sci-fi dance show performed in a 40-foot haulage truck. Shows by Frauke Requardt & David Rosenberg, deliver the delicate integrity of a deeply intimate experience within a large-scale dance spectacle.
A truck arrives from an unknown location loaded with a mystery shipment. As the sides roll up, a strange and unstoppable process is set into motion. Silver beings emerge from within the container, revealing a whole new world. Each audience member receives a pair of headphones, which allows them to hear inside the container, while immersing them in the visually striking large-scale set. Audiences seeking experiential and adventurous performances will be captivated by this show’s immersive and experiential nature. As Frauke Requardt & David Rosenberg characteristically note: “We envisage creating an impossible internal space that defies the preconception of the viewer. We want to invite an audience into a world they never thought possible.”

The co-production with The Place and the tour are made possible by a grant from the Stavros Niarchos Foundation (SNF) [www.SNF.org] to enhance the Greek National Opera’s artistic outreach.
