The Day After Tomorrow the Day Before Yesterday

(end) play

“The day after tomorrow the day before yesterday is essentially a dystopia, a sort of theatrical imaging of a future, envisaged and foreshadowed based on the biopolitical signs of present. If there is a campaign, intensified up until an obsession, which is more for smoking than non-smoking, and it is considered by some analyst a national-political intervention, directed against the human body and which aims the formally organized socialization and work efficiency (because smoking is a selective practice connected to socialization, which uses time in a fragmented way). Where can such a campaign lead us? What happens if our environmental awareness evolves up until a point where we give up our eating habits for its sake and we consider vegetarianism a world-saving orgasm? Will we be able to make a difference between killing an animal for food and murdering a human being (perhaps for the very same purpose)? How long can a woman postpone becoming a mother during a fierce fight of effectiveness which is parallel with the extension of our biological limits? How will generation issues change if the children become the sons and daughters of their own grandparents? What about technology? What will happen if the technology used to satisfy our biological and other needs, stops functioning owing to a worldwide power failure? Iulia Popovici critic
