Abstract

In a world of yesterday, today and tomorrow, dreamers seek to escape the neo-colonial powers in the hills of Burundi. This escape gives rise to an uprising against the world order, as well as a cosmic love story between a non-binary hacker and a coltan miner. With this Afrofuturist queer punk musical comedy, directors Anisia Uzeyman and Saul Williams break the rules of time and space, immersing the audience in a state between dream and reality, the real world and the virtual one. NEPTUNE FROST is a call to break free of the confines imposed upon us and dream up a better future.
