Remember that time we met in the future? by Lara Kramer at Festival FURIES this summer.
This play will be completely reimagined and adapted for performance in the chapel of the Sainte-Anne-des-Monts Convent! Come and (re)experience this work against the backdrop of a setting rich in symbolism and aesthetic appeal.
Lara Kramer’s choreographic work powerfully explores decelerated temporalities, intergenerational knowledge transmission, and the exercise of imagination as a political and cultural force, creating transformative experiences for audiences.
Remember that time we met in the future? moves through a world in transformation where land, light, sound, and memory converge. Within a shifting terrain of salvaged materials and spectral landscapes, four Indigenous artists journey through nonlinear time, where body and land, spirit and matter are inseparable. Each movement becomes a trace of ancestral memory and a gesture toward futures unfolding, a pulse shared between beings and worlds.
Through intimate physicality, layered imagery, and atmospheric resonance, the performers navigate a landscape of story, ritual, and relation. This is not dance as spectacle, but as invocation, where stillness holds weight, sound becomes breath, and tenderness meets storm. In this durational dreamscape, the dancers move with more-than-human kin, carrying the gravity of experience and the shimmer of emergent possibility.
The foundation of Kramer’s new project, Remember that time we met in the future?, is informed by Mno Ode—interpreted in Anishinaabemowin as “good heart” — the work embodies a spirit of renewal and connection. Contemporary dance, in Kramer’s practice, becomes a vessel for transformation and becoming, an invitation for audiences to enter a space of reverie and reflection, where new knowledge emerges through sensation, presence, and the shared pulse of creation.
Remember that time we met in the future? invites audiences into a present stretched by memory, a space of becoming, of heartbeats carried forward.
This performance is presented in collaboration with the Couvent de Sainte-Anne-des-Monts.
