Description |
Based on 16 hours of recorded conversation, delivered as a response to a simple question – 'Can you tell me your life story?' – 'Life and Times' translates a life to stage, verbatim, in an exuberant, monumental blend of music, theatre, dance, installation art, gesture, symbol and sound. |
