Abstract
In April of 2022, we met for a three-day course to reinvent management education. The days
consisted of imagining and discussing how management education could, should, or must look
like in the future, peppered with field trips to initiatives that organise society and education
differently. For the closing of the course, and to make sense of what we had experienced, we
collectively wrote and performed a play about what we imagine, hope, and fear regarding the
potential futures of management education. In this paper, we elaborate on how futures are
performed in management education by sharing the development and performance of the play
in the context of future-making, being at the same time the ones who begin to populate and
give form to these real utopias.
