A new contemporary dance work by Isabelle Beauverd, Passing explores the construct of time as a means of organisation and adherence. Within a multifaceted and complex framework, Passing reflects upon our subjective experience of time and our innate sensitives to it, questioning its linearity and existence. Passing sees performers stuck inside a matrix of inertia; at times exploding through synchronised dynamic movement but in other instances fumbling through their own journey of existence. The work hopes to question our individual relationship to time passing and ponder whether our experience of time is personal, subjective and/or an illusion.
