The Predictions

At the webpage of Imploding Fictions the following, among other things, is written about The Predictions:

"Starting on 13th April 2012, exactly a year before the performance, Sammy is submitting himself to a rigorous routine of writing one prediction about the world on 13th April 2013 every day. The 365 predictions will be gathered and form the basis of a durational show at Cafeteatret in Oslo in which past and present collide and form a fascinating world of conjecture, mapping out our shifting hopes and fears about the future... The predictions will cover a broad thematic landscape. There will be political, personal, factual and philosophical predictions as well as predictions about the show... Some will be realistic, some comical, some provocative, some outlandishly absurd. Amongst this tangle of thoughts, themes and theories we hope a picture will emerge of the year's hopes, fears, desires and obsessions... And of course each prediction will be gauged with the present reality... and pose a validation, contradiction, provocation or inconsistency with it. There are sure to be surprises along the way...

After sending us his daily predictions Sammy can forget about them. The next time he will be faced with them will be on 13th April 2013 when he will re-discover all his predictions together with the audience during the course of the show. The show will also catch up with itself through time, starting with text written 365 days earlier and ending in the present. What prediction will the show end on?"

Sammy's full name is Samuel Metcalfe. He is an actor, whose former assignments include Imploding Fictions' production Hamletmachine.
