Description
Folle Époque celebrates the centenary of an age of prosperity and bankruptcy, the roaring 1920s, by revisiting those years against the backdrop of the “interesting” times in which we live, the dubious 2020s. To the stage are brought a number of conjectural narratives that evoke these two times, both of them marked by the vertiginous feeling of an impending catastrophe. Just consider how the financial crash of 1929 and the rise of Nazism appear to darkly resound in algorithmic vigilance and manipulation, climate changes and the emergence of new authoritarian regimes… Shuttling back and forth between real-reality and fictional-reality, Folle Époque sets in motion a play of mirror reflections, a mise en abyme. How will the 2020s unfold?
