In the sixties considered the home of the future. The material used for the Futuro house was mainly polyester plastic and as far it concerned the design minimalism ruled. The kitchen was kept simple with a grill only, and the living room supposed to work as well as the sleeping room.

Spectators

Spectators followed the play by seeing expressions and moves of modern dance performers only through their shadows and silhouettes. Moreover, the storyline was enhanced by the small orchestra Tölöläb playing instruments such as clarinet, oboe and mixing electronic music into the score. In all respects a mystic and unique realization.
