“Hassabi’s Late Night Future begins marvelously…and is endlessly fascinating.”
THE VILLAGE VOICE, Deborah Jowitt, November 12th, 2002

Late Night Future, a span of time that expands, consuming the past and projecting into the future, making it difficult to grasp what is real. Here we enter the world of late night future.

The piece does not tell a specific story. The gestures removed from their original intent are left bare. It asks for a different reading. It becomes about the physical act, the rhythm, the sensation.
