THE FUTURE IS DRY is a film- and site specific dance concept created and directed by Runa Marie Dubrow. 

It addresses the alarming prediction that, by 2050, a third of the global population will face extreme water scarcity—a reality that many people are already experiencing.

It is a visual dance installation project aimed at raising awareness of water scarcity and environmental issues.

The project explores questions such as:

• What happens when water becomes scarce?

• Are new wars emerging over this precious resource?

• Is potable water finite?

• What are the effects of water scarcity on living beings?

• Will Earth run dry?

These questions are examined on both scientific and artistic levels. In-depth research informs the movements, sounds, and video materials used in the dance space.

​

The film was created as part of the residency RAMA - residencias artisticas in Maceira, Portugal.
