middle time

In "middle time" we are confronting the naive hope that a commercial commodity, or in this case, a performing arts production, can act as a cure for the restless mind 

Dreamy dance, crispy sounds and an invisible object constructs an atmosphere that can be experienced as both caring and unsettling


With an almost inhumane neutrality and seductive dominance, the performer poses some of the most urgent questions for the persistently self-optimizing human

The performer directs the questions to both the audience and to themself. But to find the answers each one must pause

 ...

and listen to the space in between
