About:
The Second Copy: 2045 is a conceptual performance featuring a documentary made in the year 2045, a moment at which political conflicts are projected to have changed the world to such a degree that the only remnants of art exist in the form of memories.
Through a reflection on the dynamics of contemporary Moroccan art, the audience is invited into an ambiguous space between realism and fiction. Here language, movement and images no longer abide by individual logical systems, but are able to interact. The aim is to create a new and experimental environment through audience interaction.
