2084: A Diorama of the Future

2084 : A Diorama of the Future (in Alcova)
Show/performance

Based on a fable telling the story of a few climate refugees in the year 2084, and faced with the future ecological dilemma of our world, the students of the MAIA - Master of Arts in Interior Architecture at HEAD - Geneva spent almost a year designing, imagining, making and staging an encampment representing a not-so-distant future.

The performance-installation 2084, A Diorama of the future will not only present the concrete results of this creative process. It will also aim to offer visitors an immersive and participatory experience. The students will invite the public to plunge into their vision of the future in an accelerated circadian movement and to interact with the various elements of the camp.
It is in this great vivarium/show, human/non-human, where the students will take on the role of inhabitants of a changing world, confronted with the challenges and dilemmas of the post-Anthropocene era. This live staging will give visitors a vivid insight into the issues we face, while sparking thought and discussion about possible solutions and the place of technology.
