Description
abstractSynopsis:
American physician Alan Lightman published a novel, Einstein's Dreams in 1992. With poetic touch, he elaborated on the most abstract idea in Physics, time. Amazed by his perfect combination of science and poetry, I was lured to put on a play to realize his ideas in theatre. That is how Book of Time, 1905 was born. I tried to objectify the abstractness of ¡"time" in theatre, using audio-visual elements to represent the fleeting, changing, reversing, and fixation of time. Book of Time, 1905 was adapted from more than thirty dreams of Einstein described in Einstein's Dream. It presented three dimensions of human consciousness of time ；immortality of life, the order of the universe, and history/memory. Six topics, ＂the present tense and its betrayal＂, "one hundred years of solitude", "the crossroads of time", "riotous spring", "the chapter of the end of the world", and "Alice in Wonderland", were intertwined to elaborate on the this big topic on time. For years, Baboo has been exploring different types of "The Theatre of Image". Book of Time, 1905 is one of them. Emphasizing on mise-en-scene which incorporates the actors' bodies to theatre space, the play presents scenes sometimes like eternal statues, sometimes like flowing river, and sometimes like flying music. It's a stylistic dance-like performance composed of symbolic images and bodily movements.
