Description
It's easy to make you disappear, she says.
And the figure is gone.
Just like that.
In Vegas, a magician performs a final disappearing act. The end of the world is a magic trick - are you watching closely?
Ghosts of the Near Future is a cowboy-noir fever dream about extinction. Colliding music, storytelling, and live micro-cinema, it is a hallucinatory road-trip through a vanishing landscape, a haunting collage of miracles and misdirection. It takes us to the brink of disaster and asks whether we're ready for what comes next.
This edition was published to coincide with the production at Summerhall, Edinburgh, in August 2022.
