Hindsight 2020
Hindsight 2020 is a devised multimedia time capsule answering the question: What parts of 2020 will you leave behind or bring with you?
Should auld acquaintance be forgot and never brought to mind? 2020 saw a global pandemic, over 60 countries protesting in solidarity with Black Lives Matter, widespread economic crises of historical magnitude, wildfires sweeping much of the world, and social and political unrest everywhere. There were births, deaths, Zoom weddings, virtual graduations, glorious concerts held from tiny balconies, and sporting events played out to stadiums full of cardboard cutouts.
Hindsight 2020, is a collaboration of international artists in various disciplines creating a devised virtual time capsule seeking to answer the question: What parts of 2020 will you leave behind or bring with you? Through the archival and artistic process, they will attempt to make sense of a year that defies all categorization. 2020 was a year that changed the world. How has it changed you?
The concept of Hindsight 2020 was originated by Theatre Artist and Santa Cruz local Rebecca Haley Clark. She will be directing the piece, assisted by Cree Noble, a Chicago-based performer. Co-producer Those Women Productions envisions a world in which people of all genders and races are the protagonists of their own stories.
