A Book of Hours is a meditation on the mystery of time; a captivating multimedia experience, combining animation and screen dance with a dynamic live musical performance.
Inspired by the ways people spend their time and divide their days for work, rest and play, A Book of Hours is full of moments to surprise and delight audiences of all ages: a quartet for toothbrushes, vegetables swirling in stop-motion, and wind-up toys whirring across a stage full of instruments.
Created by composer Kate Neal, filmmaker Sal Cooper, choreographer Gerard Van Dyck and performed by the contemporary classical ensemble Rubiks Collective, expect an enchanting sonic and visual feast for the senses from this award-winning team of Victorian artists.
Time collapses, days invert and nights implode.
Tick tock, tick tock. Watch it all unwind…
