Catching Up to the Future of Our Past

catching up to the future of our past is a duet for Natalie LeFebvre Gnam and James Gnam that reflects on the minutiae of midlife by exploring the times and places where they have existed or will exist, as both potential and memory. Set within a retro-futurist astral bubble, transported onto a 22-foot revolving stage, the work considers the weight of time, the imprints that we are born with, the ephemerality of the present, and the ripples that are left behind when we are gone.
