Memories of the Hourglass

Synopsis

In Memories of the hourglass, seven scenic fragments touch the imaginary of the spectators with a poetic, sonorous and visual atmosphere.

As soon as the hourglass turns, light and time will transform the stage.

It is a work that is part of a trilogy of reflections on time, the great Saturn that slowly and mercilessly devours its children who live inside material bodies contained in dreams, memories and subtle matter such as poetry. Three actors of flesh and blood will be successively transported in ephemeral universes that are set in motion like the mechanism of a clock.
