Theatre Tempus Tic Tac

A serious but comical look at time:

How long is a quarter of an hour when you’re falling asleep in

your theatre seat?

What is a minute of silence for a deaf person?

What are three minutes for an egg?

On the stage an actor covers in one hour (no more, no less!) the questions that are almost bound to arise when we talk about time: linear time/ circular time, absolute time/relative time, history of time measurement, instant/duration, scientific time/conscious time, irreversibility of time, notion of space time… The points of view from which these subjects are explored are varied (as befits such a deep subject!): philosophy, mathematics, history, physics, literature, etc...
