- Title
The League of Time.
- Abstract
This article presents a theatrical journey to the future and recapitulations of the past based on the play "The League of Time" by BADco. It states that in these times, the grand social narratives as well as the wild unactualized visionary aspirations for the transformation of everyday life have been swept away by the storm of historical events. It mentions Vladimir Mayakovsky and how he sees the battle between bourgeois America and soviet Euroasia. It also mentions the transformation of the weary worker into a New Man by the Sonate of Sleep. The article predicts that the Brooklyn Bridge would be the connection between the U.S. and the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR).
