"An organism breathing: order, chaos, chance. You—part and whole, indivisible."
Hearing Time in Silence is an immersive art organism that composes sound and silence, time and relation through auditory, visual, and bodily experience. Audience, performers, objects, media, light, sound, and silence function as equal agents, overlapping to form a living universe.
Through shifting time and space, audiences encounter multiple coexisting universes. Movement and stillness, live performance and media, sound and silence intertwine, prompting the question of where the universe one enters exists. The space functions as an expanded opera, a constantly transforming sensorial field in which presence, relation, and time are continuously reconfigured.
Hearing Time in Silence is a durational performance. Audience can enter and exit at any point throughout the performance time, 4–8pm on Friday and Saturday, Jan 30-31.
La MaMa in association with CultureHub presents Hearing Time in Silence. Past presenters and support for the work include Music Odyssey, ABL & SUBL, Seoul Institute of the Arts, Ministry of Culture, Sports, and Tourism, Korean Foundation for International Cultural Exchange, Incheon Metropolitan City, Incheon Foundation for Arts & Culture, Incheon Jung-Gu Cultural Foundation.
