FUTURE LOVES BURNING/AGE OF EXTREMES
WRITTEN AND DIRECTED BY TIM WOTHERSPOON
12 - 23 MAY 2026
THE MOTLEY BAUHAUS
Tim Wotherspoon’s latest attempt to reconcile reality brings you two one-act plays in one coherent* experience; join us as 8 performers remix history with Future Loves Burning, and deliver the brand new Age Of Extremes in a full-venue takeover of the Motley Bauhaus this May.
In this premiere production, developed in-and-for the Motley Bauhaus in Carlton, cast and audience are thrown headlong into a multiverse of potentia.
From the Dictaphone of Nikita Khrushchev - the first Secretary of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union, to a 2017 Melbourne Fringe production of Future Loves Burning now brought to the floor for re-examination, a troupe of actors (either narcissists or members of the intelligence community, or both) guide us mercilessly through the quantum while gnomes eat the moon.
These performances at the Motley Bauhaus will be unlike any other in this universe or that one over there. Or at least this year, or that one over there..
Tragedies are present and remote, personal and common, streaming jumbles no matter preference nor subscription. You get the wash. This stuff isn't cheap. This stuff breaks your head. Where is unity that isn't foul or passed through steelwork made for purpose? Even unity in passing's hard to find.
Here we give you two acts and an interval. Step right up. Sit right down. You can even wander about, you cheeky bee...
A time and place to laugh and cry together, and shift our seats in boredom or discomfort; what's more fun than that, cos let's do whatever your thing is otherwise... Is it drugs? We can't advertise that kind of thing. Don't do drugs. It's part of the problem unless it's like a bit of weed...
