Past Dates
This evening of readings and concerts revolves around the idea of the beginning of time. Narratives from a multiplicity of languages, cultures and historical contexts interweave with intimate sonic fabrics to draw a landscape of ideas about the origin of the world, of the universe, and of time itself. Whether ancient creation myths, cosmogonies, or current scientific theories, every culture creates stories that account for that which we cannot know. Alongside their poetics, these stories reveal their inventors’ relation to the world, their philosophies, desires, assumptions, imaginaries, and politics. “Of Time Immemorial” invites you to settle down for a while and to listen to sounds and stories of worlds past, present, and future.
