It’s 2023 and ClusterFlux have returned to the office. We’re ready to get to work, put our heads down and stop dreaming. Stop dreaming about what could have been, or who we could have been. We’re ready to clock in and clock out and not spare a minute in-between.
So, we’ve fired up the printer, the weekly meeting is being called in the conference room, it’s someone’s birthday and shit is about to hit the fan. As chaos descends, as distractions take us off course, the magic really starts to happen. And by magic we really do mean magic.
Taking the structure of a well-made-play set in an office and unravelling it with magic tricks, dance routines and physical performance, ClusterFlux examine the rhetoric of neo-liberal productivity culture and what creativity and magic can be found in the gaps of production.
In a society where progress is measured by productivity, where minutes are monetised and our value amounts to our utility, what happens when we let the mind wander?
This project has been supported by ArtsDepot and London Performance Studios.
