A Book of Hours is a meditation on the mystery of time, combining a world of projected movement and a dynamic live musical score. Created by composer Kate Neal, filmmaker Sal Cooper, choreographer Gerard Van Dyck and performed by new music ensemble Rubiks Collective, A Book of Hours is a sonic and visual feast for the senses.
‘A Book of Hours’ combines stop-motion filmed humans and animation on screen, choreographed musicians and wind-up toys on stage, representing the slippage of time and the embodied vulnerability of the human form.
“Call it dance or art music or just live performance. Whatever it is – A Book of Hours is the best kind of puzzle.” – ★★★★ The Age
