Time has fallen asleep in the afternoon sunshine

A group of performers have each memorised a book of their choice. They form a collection of living books that spend their time in the Haus der Berliner Festspiele, waiting to be picked up. At the counter, a reader can order one of these books before being taken by it to a quiet place to have it recited. Inspired by Ray Bradbury’s “Fahrenheit 451” which describes a world in which all books have been burned, Mette Edvardsen’s “Time has fallen asleep in the afternoon sunshine” is a remarkable one-to-one experience.
