Mit dem Erstarken faschistischer Tendenzen nehmen auch Militarisierung, Gewalt und toxische Männlichkeit zu. Marco da Silva Ferreira untersucht die Choreografien solcher repressiver Systeme und lotet zugleich Möglichkeiten ihrer Subversion aus. Acht in Kettenhemden gekleidete Tänzer*innen, die mal verführerisch, mal kampflustig anmuten, verkörpern in einer Arena verschiedene Archetypen. Roboter marschieren neben Dragqueens, Ritter*innen verwandeln sich in Clubber*innen – und inmitten all dieser Uniformität bleibt stets Raum für Individualität. “F*cking Future” ist eine reizvolle Dekonstruktion von Männlichkeit, die Queerness und Freiheit feiert.

Marco da Silva Ferreira was born in 1986 in Santa Maria da Feira, Portugal, and holds a degree in physiotherapy. His intensive physical practice began in 1996 with swimming, but was replaced by the performing arts in 2002. He taught himself dance styles emerging from urban and street contexts, pop culture and the club scene. As a choreographer, “Hu(r)mano” (2013) marked the beginning of an unpredictable journey. “BROTHER” (2016) cemented a distinct artistic discourse. Both pieces were included in the “Aerowaves Priority Companies” programme. These were followed by “Bisonte” (2019), “Corpos de Baile” (2020) for the Portuguese National Ballet, and “SIRI” (2021), a co-production with Jorge Jácome. “førma Inførma” (2022) with the South African company Via Katlehong, “Fantasie Minor” (2022) with the CCN de Caen and “CARCAÇA” (2022), selected by the Big Pulse Dance Alliance. “a folia” (2024) for the Ballet de Lorraine.
