    This play is fucking weird... I dunno what this will be like, but I also feel like it’s the first “mature” thing I’ve written as an experimental writer? Whatever that means? It’s about the distance between one consciousness and another. Oh geeze... I know, sorry. (-Eri Nox, 2017)

    Four beings of the human persuasion create a past for themselves through child's play and collaborative storytelling. An open-text process poem for the stage, THE FUTURE PERFECT blends gender, person, time, and tense in a steam of collective consciousness. Gradually 'they', 'you', 'I', 'we' and 'Nosotros' discover that the world we’ve been creating has a gravity of its own... something frightening in a shade of color we have never known before. Probably magenta. Probably something about acceptance.
