Future is primitive

Future is primitive does not tell, but it suggests a vision: that of an archaic future. And it does so by outlining a gaze direction that starts from the belief that the idea of linear progress is wrong.

The opera recounts a circular time, a cyclical one. In this short non-film, the author reflects on the relationship between man and nature and the temporality of cultural attitudes. The initial perception of a disturbing future becomes an instinctive affirmation of man to nature, so the new is archaic, the “forgotten”.
