Autumn brings a more intimate, reflective time. We think about time, the origin of time and the linearity of time. How much of this concept is physics or mathematics and how much of it is culture? Do we understand time in the same way they do in Asia? Do we understand time in the same way our ancestors did? Is there a modern time that moves faster than time in the past? Does life itself and everyday comings and goings bring us closer to the concept of time? Is the autumn of our life a time to get back a sense of calm?
“An intellectual history of the clock” is a lecture and performance put together by Alexandra Laudo. Onstage, a technician, a dancer and a chef perform in parallel. The aim is to reflect upon our perception of time today.
