We want to declare an end to History because it's holding us back. It's taking up all our time and it's filling all our books. We're starting to feel the weight of it and it's slowing us down. Let's finish History. Let's put it behind us. History started at zero and it's come a long way. The birth of our sun, the Battle of Hastings, The Suffragettes, Vietnam, Foot and Mouth and now today. Today it's reached its peak. Today it can go no further. It's come to a stand still and we'll all be able to say "We were there. We were there when History was declared over and there were fireworks and a public announcement". We want to put an end to History so we're going to have a celebration. Before we wave it goodbye we want to re-enact History and remember the highlights. We want to have fireworks and feel a sense of warmth regarding all that we've shared and when History is over we'll all come together and look hopefully into our empty burdenless future. There's a list of people. A great list. A list of all the people that made History. We're going to wave goodbye to that list. We're going to give them a send off because we think they've deserved it. But before we do we're going to add our names to that list. All of us on this day will get our names on that list because we were there. We made History. We were then when it ended. We want it to be beautiful. Two performers attempt to re-enact events that shaped our world and celebrate the end of History. Presenting it exactly as we know it. Selecting randomly from events in the past we discover how we remember it and how little we know. How little we care. How much we miss it. How much we want it to go. With no attempt to research the facts we rely on our own knowledge of the events and reveal that what matters is not what really happened but what we all think happened.
