An evening of ten songs and poems and ten desserts, each inspired by a different reflection on the future.
On May 12, 2024, Vervool presented Vervool in Futuro in the Netherlands: an evening of ten songs and ten desserts, inspired by ten reflections on the future. The concept explored the question of what kind of future we want to create. Utopia or dystopia, green or grey, technology or craft, growth or restraint. Each reflection became the starting point for a musical and culinary interpretation. Ted Steinebach created 10 small desserts themed around food waste, self-care, lab-grown food, artificial intelligence, inequality, sustainability, and the role of art. Vivienne Aerts performed a continuous set of songs and soundscapes, carrying the audience through each chapter of the evening. The result was an intimate, thought-provoking Vervool experience in which food and music became a way to imagine, question, and discuss the future together.
