Plastic Orchid Factory: Catching Up to the Future of Our Past

The Dance Centre and PuSh International Performing Arts Festival present Plastic Orchid Factory/James Gnam in the world premiere of Catching Up to the Future of Our Past.

Natalie LeFebvre Gnam and James Gnam explore time as something elastic - stretching between memory and possibility. Inside a Mary Quant–inspired, retro-futurist bubble, their duet plays with the weight and lightness of time passing.

The piece sits where nostalgia and anticipation meet, tracing how time stretches between what we remember and what we imagine. Every gesture becomes a reminder of how the past shapes what’s ahead—and how the future reshapes what we remember.
