Remember that time we met in the future?

Presented with
Heart // Time // Becoming
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 is a trace of ancestral memory, of futures unfolding, of a pulse shared between beings and worlds. Through intimate physicality, layered imagery, and atmospheric force, the performers navigate a landscape of story, ritual, and resonance.
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 walk with more-than-human kin, carrying the gravity of lived experience and the glow of emergent futures. Remember that time we met in the future? invites audiences into a present stretched by memory, a space of becoming, of heartbeats carried forward.
Shared at the artist’s invitation, this poetic reflection by Joëlle Dubé accompanies Remember that time we met in the future? by Lara Kramer, tracing the work’s attention to ghost gestures, deep memory, and bodies moving across folded time. The text offers an optional space for attunement before or after the performance.
