Synopsis: | Theater company Panoply Performance Laboratory (PPL) and experimental music ensemble thingNY construct a vast, subjective map of ideas, a documentary about time itself. The absurdity of completely explaining the subjective histories, cultural role, and science of time is balanced with the earnest attempt to do just that. This musically-driven performance art piece features performers of radically different backgrounds working together to create a form of performance that exists simultaneously in and outside of time, expressing and describing through video, web-based durational media and an accompanying printed book that extends the performance beyond the duration of the live performance. The work is influenced by the chance-based and aleatoric modes of the music of John Cage and Gerard Grisey, the durational modes of the performance art of Tehching Hsieh and Bas Jan Ader, as well as the philosophies and science of Husserl, Einstein, William James, Heidegger, and many others. | |||||
