True Logic of the Future
True Logic of the Future takes place in the near future in a city on the brink of collapse. As drought and coastal floods drive refugees into the city, industry collapses and protestors fill the streets, three citizens must confront a decision that will transform their society’s future.
Drawing on the ideas of 19th century economist, meteorologist, logician, musician, programmer, 3D photographer, philosopher and cloud-maker William Stanley Jevons, cross-artform ensemble Boho weave narrative theatre, interactive sequences and a live soundtrack of trombone / electronica into a taut science-fiction thriller exploring the choices we make when we run out of choices.
When: Saturday 21 – Saturday 28th August. Various session times listed below.
Where: Powerhouse Museum , 500 Harris St, Ultimo

Review of this performance: Australian Stage
What the critics say:
‘…takes ideas that are philosophically dense, and not only presents them in a narrative that’s easy to relate to, but also provides engaging experiences that illustrate their point. … As theatrical experiences go, this is among the most enjoyable I have ever had.’
Australian Stage Online
‘Stoppard meets Beckett in an Orwellian world… True Logic of the Future is compelling, confronting and intellectually… intriguing in its construct, imaginative in its staging, and prophetic in its pronouncement of the global and national issues that will determine the future prosperity and security of the nation.’
Lowdown Magazine
‘The team don’t wear their intellectualism on their sleeves. Instead… they have simply produced a fine piece of drama that explores some of our bigger challenges as a society: the loss of anonymity, of power, and control of our environment.’
