ABOUT THE PIECE:

In 17th / 18th Century the precision of the gears of a clock was considered the perfect metaphor of national order. Criticised by Charlie Chaplin in Modern Times (1936), the clockwork man is considered the bedrock of a stable society and the working world. Today a flaunted lack of time / constant activity is emblematic of high achievers. The piece relates to the defined daily dose of work time and life time. Are they really as separate as we assume?

The three international artists paraphrase this issue with their own imaginative language of object manipulation. Together with dramaturg Asli Kislal a unique world is created, in which the treasured possession of time is celebrated and questioned. But do you have time for that?

With artistic skill and impressive stage design the performers tell the story of daily life, which in it`s complexity is threatening to eat them up. (60 min)
