“A story of industry of individual enterprise – humanity crusading in the pursuit of happiness”. 
(opening sign Modern Times)
 
What if Charlie Chaplin’s Modern Times were filmed today? Not in a factory, but in the field of the arts. Together with Femke Gyselinck, Maya Mertens (Vieze Meisje), Jeroen van Der Ven and Lawrence Mcguire (Hogobogobogo), Ferre Marnef explores what capital means within the fluid labor model of today’s freelancer. The performance dynamites the shiny facades of the artistic entrepreneurs of the self in order to understand its own state of being.

Aggressively Modern Times wants to keep in mind that it is still possible to intervene in this liquid world. It is a peep show about life and work in a world where more and more people start to degrade to a means: either functioning or failing. In between, as with machines, there is nothing. 

In his first full-length performance since Desnor, Ferre Marnef double crosses sound and image. It is as much a concert as it is a theater performance, but secretly wants to be neither. The visual and sonic collage drags the present onto the stage; the city-as-machine, the artist-as-brand, in order to escape the Rules of the Art as a gentle punk act.
