A music theatre piece in which reality and fiction, live and playback were mixed together. The piece looked like a mock congress with experts, researchers and inventors in the areas of genetics, biology, art and aeronautics. Proposals were launched which were intended to push evolution and society in unforeseen directions.
Young Farmers Claim Future presented The Neckhair Chronicles, a project in which new music assembled with the technological dissipations of our time. It was about new sciences, Darwin, Galilee and Kirchner and proposals that pushed the society and the evolution in an unexpected direction. Footage was drawn off the satellite; the only evidence for the media that something is going on, and for ourself that we exist.
