From the profane world of clocks, schedules and alarms, to the grand arc that is our life, to the confounding time scales of the universe, It’s Only a Matter of Time is a thoughtful and sometimes irreverent performance reflecting of how we humans perceive time. How do we experience time when we are stressed? Relaxed? When faced with extreme danger?
Springtime, 2021.
In the milieu we are living in - thick in the guts of the pandemic - where our worlds have shrunk to living rooms, bedrooms and screen rehearsals, the cast and director pondered the notion of time, putting it under a micro/macro-scope, asking ridiculous questions and demanding impossible answers. It’s Only a Matter of Time is a devised work with the 2nd year Bachelor of Performance and Theatre students, comprising a collection of vignettes in a three-part structure: Chronological Time, Time in Dreams and Deep Time. The performance will be live streamed. The cast are not only actors, but with the assistance of stage manager Kiara Smith and her technical team, the actors are also technicians and set designers, transforming their homes upside-down to create this performance for you, our audience. We hope you spend time with us and enjoy the show.
