When people talk about science fiction, they think of films like »2001: A Space Odyssey«, »Metropolis« or »Interstellar«. However, hardly anyone will have an association with the theatre. Yet this genre, with its depictions of utopian future scenarios, is predestined to broaden the horizon of thought. The FARN. collective makes use of this potential with »The Shape of Trouble to Come«. Through futuristic narratives, an awareness of people's current behaviour with its negative and positive consequences is created. The performance directs the view into the future not only in terms of content but also in the format itself: a creative answer to the Ludwigsburg Festival's guiding question: »Where are we going?«

»The Shape Of Trouble To Come« is a production by FARN. collective in co-production with Schauspiel Leipzig and the Schauspielhaus Bochum. A remastered recording of the digital premiere on 18 June 2021 from the Schauspielhaus Leipzig.
