your best guess
We can’t help living in the future: booking flights for our holidays, organizing birthday parties, writing applications, sending invitations, producing t‐shirts
for tours... all of this are merely suppositions. When the time comes, those things may happen according to plan, or not. What if we could rewrite History? Or, at least, what if we could imagine that things might have gone a different way? Or anticipate all possible paths leading us to‐wards the future, so we could be prepared for any possible scenario? Or actually live in anticipation a certain event believing it will definitely happen?
mala voadora and Chris Thorpe get together to talk about all this: about the unpredictability of the course of History. About the History that actually happens and that which never took place after all. But also about undetonated bombs, goodbye letters, ghost cities, amulets... They will invest in their best guess.
