C-LS's A Future Western explores classic western themes such as power, love, redemption, and good versus evil in order to seek what lies at the core of the instinctual self. In a society where organized authority lacks true power, one is forced to turn a blind eye towards lawless individuals. Without a formal moral construct, how does one determine what is just? How far is man willing to go in order to pursue personal justice? In a future where ones actions are of little consequence, this performance examines the limitations of ones own morality.
