21:30 – “Time/less: a contemplative study of the nature of time” by Mara Vivas
A dance piece with 2 dance artists, inviting the audience to consider how we experience time. If the duration remains the same, what is it that changes our perception of the moment? Why does it sometimes flash by, and others crawl? As we witness the dance, can we consider time.
