In this new performance installation by the celebrated artist duo SIGNA, a mysterious organisation offers the audience a unique simulation: The Final Year, a six-hour individual journey through time to the end of one's own life.
You don't know how or when you got here. What do they want from you here?
You do not remember what you lost, but you know that it is huge.
You don't know what year it is, it was all so sudden. Your final year.
A mysterious organisation offers a unique simulation: The Final Year, a six-hour individual journey to the end of one's own life. Family members, staff and the dying are in a care home, on a sun-dappled meadow or outside of the gates of heaven, while the simulation proceeds, pauses, comes full circle. Lifelines blur. We become aware of wrong turns taken. Desires awaken into lived fantasies that are forgotten a moment later. The celebrated Danish-Austrian artist duo SIGNA is developing their new performance installation with forty performers specifically for the House of the Republic at Funkhaus
