"The Misinterpreted Futures of George Town 2068": Missing Futures | ArtsEquator Thinking and Talking about Arts and Culture in Southeast Asia Articles Tan Thian Chang September 27, 2018 By Akanksha Raja (960 words, four-minute read) Prior to stepping into the mystifying world of The Misinterpreted Futures of George Town 2068 , I was curious and fascinated by that science-fictioney title, coupled with the exciting premise of a performance with no performers: the technical elements of the show (lights, sound design, video projections) perform in lieu of human bodies. The programme synopsis states the show “imagines a day in a life in George Town, in the future, inspired by the hopes, fears and aspirations of its people.” It sounds simple enough. But I was unprepared for just how puzzled and bewildered I would be.
