Although we consider time to be an objective, unchanging and continuous reality, it does not affect everyone in the same way. This is partly a matter of subjective perception and meaning. Only certain moments in an individual’s life define and transform it, while the rest becomes practically meaningless by comparison. However, time also has physical properties. Under extreme conditions, different observers may experience the passage of time in fundamentally different ways. Near black holes, for example, time appears to slow down to such an extent that, for an outside observer, it seems to stop completely. From this perspective, black holes can be perceived as both a place and a moment in time.
New choreography by Sylva Šafková created especially for La Fabrika Theatre.
The piece was supported with a grant from the City of Prague and with grant from the Ministry of Culture of the Czech Republic, Prague 7 & Arti District Prague 7 and the donor Václav Dejčmar. In collaboration with the Studio Maiselovka. Thanks to all our partners, supporters and collaborators.
