This Weekend: What Happened 2081?‏

What Happened 2081?‏

Report by Santanu Ganguly, New Delhi: It is the year 2081 and everything is forgotten. Memory and history are lost. Men are forbidden, drama is forbidden, democracy is forbidden. The algorithm rules.

Then, fragments are discovered: archives, hard discs, books, knowledge. From these fragments performers, musicians and scientists will try to reconstruct the future on a two-day exploration. Reconstructing the Future through Music, Talks, Performances and a Walk.
