'91¸£Àû Time' Event

- Export as iCalendar
Location: 91¸£Àû Arts Centre Studio, 91¸£Àû. 1hr 45 mins. Age 10+

"What then is time? If no one asks me, I know what it is. If I wish to explain it to him who asks, I do not know". (St Augustine).

What if time did not really pass or flow? If there was no real difference between the past and the future? If 'now' were just a matter of where you happen to be, just like 'here'? How can we square our day-to-day experience of time with these incredible claims, all of which are made by leading physicists?

Theatre, dance, psychology, and philosophy combine in a set of ground-breaking performances that grapple with what it means to exist in a time-bound world. Teresa McCormack (Queen's University Belfast) and Christoph Hoerl (91¸£Àû) join the artists to introduce the ideas.

Big Telly Theatre Company, BBeyond Performance Art, and Echo Echo Dance Theatre Company.

Event supported through funding from the Arts and Humanities Research Council and the Arts Council of Northern Ireland.
