Future Cargo
▶︎ Requardt & Rosenberg
A truck arrives from an unknown location loaded with a mystery shipment. As the sides roll up a strange and unstoppable process is set into motion.
Future Cargo is a sci-fi dance show performed in a 40 foot haulage truck and, like all Requardt & Rosenberg’s shows, it delivers the delicate integrity of a deeply intimate experience within a large-scale dance spectacle.
Requardt & Rosenberg was established to create dance performance away from the auditorium and studio either in outdoor locations or within temporary structures.
Their performances are highly visible, unique events in that engage a wide audience in a distinctive format.
Their performances combine both the spectacle of large-scale dance and the delicate integrity and intimacy of the audience experience through binaural sound, delivered through headphones.
Requardt & Rosenberg’s practice explores:
• The different spatial relationships between audience and performance.
• The creation of dance works that take architectural constraint as a starting point.
• The creation of temporary performance spaces that can tour around the world, providing an alternate touring network for international work.
**** Intriguing and humorous. A deeply engaging and captivating show.

Touring
Future Cargo has been developed as a concept touring model, where the core artistic vision travels, but is realised locally through partnerships rather than transported as a fixed production.This approach reduces the environmental and financial costs typically associated with international touring, while creating opportunities for deeper local engagement. Elements of the production are adapted or remade in each location, working with local teams, performers and infrastructure.Rather than simply presenting work in different places, Future Cargo is built through them embedding itself within local contexts while maintaining a cohesive artistic framework.
The project is underpinned by a strong network of international partners and collaborators. Future Cargo is co-produced with The Place (UK) and the Greek National Opera, reflecting a shared commitment to developing new models of large-scale performance and international exchange.The project has been supported by the Stavros Niarchos Foundation, whose backing has enabled the development and international realisation of this touring model.
Each presentation is created in collaboration with local organisations, producers and artists, ensuring that the work is shaped by the context in which it is presented. These partnerships are central to the project’s ethos - supporting knowledge exchange, building local capacity and strengthening connections across the sector.
