SUMMARY:Sister Sylvester & Deniz Tortum - Shadowtime
DESCRIPTION:DATES:\nTuesday\, February 17\, 2026\n12:00—5:00 pm \nWednesday\, February 18\, 2026\n12:00—5:00 pm \nThursday\, February 19\, 2026\n12:00—5:00 pm \nFriday\, February 20\, 2026\n12:00—5:00 pm \nSaturday\, February 21\, 2026\n11:00 am—3:00 pm \nSunday\, February 22\, 2026\n11:00 am—3:00 pm\n_____________________________\nVirtual Reality / Film \n‘Shadowtime’ is a word drawn from a new lexicon for the anthropocene. It is the feeling of occupying two irreconcilable times simultaneously. Making breakfast for a child\, while knowing that in that child’s lifetime a species of flower that has existed for millennia has gone extinct. Driving to try and make work on time it occurs to you that the gas in your engine is the compressed bones of prehistoric creatures. \nShadowtime takes these temporal incompatibilities and explores them in the realm of virtual reality and simulation theory. To exist in the virtual world is to have two bodies\, four hands\, two hearts—to exist in two worlds at the same time. Alma\, a mysterious guide to this double world\, leads you through questions around climate crisis\, grief\, and the provocation of the virtual as a retreat or shelter\, or as a place from which to come to learn how to be in two places\, two times\, simultaneously.

SUMMARY:Ant Hampton with Tim Etchells - Not to Scale
DESCRIPTION:DATES:\nTuesday\, February 17\, 2026\n12:00—5:00 pm \nWednesday\, February 18\, 2026\n12:00—5:00 pm \nThursday\, February 19\, 2026\n12:00—5:00 pm \nFriday\, February 20\, 2026\n12:00—5:00 pm \nSaturday\, February 21\, 2026\n11:00 am—3:00 pm \nSunday\, February 22\, 2026\n11:00 am—3:00 pm\n_________________________________\nUS premiere \nAudio experience / Participation \nNot to Scale is a full-length ‘autoteatro’ performance which draws two participants into shared experiments and intertwined processes of drawing\, erasing and listening. Guided by a binaural soundtrack\, participants create a shared journey using pencil on blank sheets of paper. Crude doodles soon come to life in a comical and unsettling picture book narrative that plays constantly with the tension between creation and destruction\, life and death\, energy and entropy.  By simply following the prompts as best you can\, things start to happen: performance is triggered from even the smallest movement. \nThings – stories\, pictures\, ideas – appear and disappear constantly on the page\, a site which starts to unfold into a lo-fi carnival of possibility; a carnage of crossing out\, overlapped drawings and landscape traces. \nLike Ant Hampton’s other ‘autoteatro’ work\, including his previous collaborations with Tim Etchells (The Quiet Volume\, Lest We See)\, by simply following the prompts as best you can\, things start to happen: performance is triggered from even the smallest movement. And they have never been so small.

SUMMARY:Ant Hampton & Time Based Editions - Borderline Visible
DESCRIPTION:DATES:\nMonday\, February 16\, 2026\n11:00 am—5:00 pm \nTuesday\, February 17\, 2026\n11:00 am—5:00 pm \nWednesday\, February 18\, 2026\n11:00 am—5:00 pm \nThursday\, February 19\, 2026\n11:00 am—5:00 pm \nFriday\, February 20\, 2026\n11:00 am—5:00 pm \nSaturday\, February 21\, 2026\n11:00 am—5:00 pm \nSunday\, February 22\, 2026\n11:00 am—3:00 pm\n_____________________________________\nAudio & visual experience \nTicket price includes a copy of the book\, which contains a link to the audio track and can therefore be experienced again individually at any point\, in multiple languages. \nBorderline Visible begins as a journey from Lausanne to Izmir in 2022 by two artist friends\, one of whom must stop. As the other continues towards Turkey\, suddenly alone\, the narration grows into a moving and troubled psychogeography as it shifts between ‘we’ and ‘I\,’ present and past\, piecing together value and meaning from the very human ruins of aspiration\, history and language.  \nAnt Hampton’s careful\, at times miraculous\, process of reconnection gradually lights up a constellation: voices and earthquakes\, the Sephardic diaspora\, tourism and forced movement\, breakdowns and dementia\, the end of the Ottoman Empire\, swifts and swallows\, Eliot’s The Waste Land and an urgent insight into hidden atrocities at the edge of Europe being funded from its centre.  \nAnt Hampton is co-director of the Time Based Editions series\, publisher of Borderline Visible. As with all Time Based Editions\, an audio track combines narration\, soundscape and instructions that guide you over  a given time through the book. Ticket price includes a copy of the book\, which can be experienced again individually at any point in multiple languages. \n“The book-as-performance becomes a kind of “survival process” that illuminates those excluded from the country of the visible.” —Daniel Sack \n“Your understanding of what a book can be will change forever.” —Lara Pawson \n“Hampton has been creating an international furore for years with his autoteatro performance works without actors … ‘Borderline Visible’ is an extraordinary experience … The interplay between soundscape and picture book works perfectly. Sometimes pages are black or you have to close your eyes\, like black-outs in a film. Some pages you have to let slide past your fingers like an old filmstrip – then the landscape passes you by. Thus history\, politics and art come together poignantly\, in an intelligent work in which\, after Hampton\, the audience travels their own journey.” —De Volkskrant (NL) ★★★★☆ \n“an extremely engaging psychogeographical framework constantly enriched by Hampton’s searching mind and razor-sharp political rage.” —Marijn Lems\, Theaterkrant (NL) \n“…distilled with subtlety and humanity… A magnificent way of approaching politics through exploration\, extended time\, and touch.” —Marie-Pierre Genecand\, Le Temps (CH) \nWinner of the IDFA (International Documentary Festival Amsterdam) 2023 DocLab award for Creative Technologies.

SUMMARY:Julian Brave NoiseCat: We Survived the Night: A Coyote Story in Four Parts
DESCRIPTION:DATES:\nSaturday\, February 21\, 2026\n7:00 pm \nSunday\, February 22\, 2026\n4:00 pm\n_____________________________\nWorld premiere \nTheatre \nAcross his genre-defying work\, Julian Brave NoiseCat often turns to the narrative arts of his people who tell stories about mythic ancestors like the trickster Coyote to make sense of the world and themselves\, cutting through colonial fictions while pushing the boundaries of nonfiction to illuminate vital truths. The “Coyote Story\,” an artform once practiced by Indigenous peoples from Central America to Western Canada\, is one of the oldest and most significant oral traditions in human history. In this one-man show\, NoiseCat brings this dying art off the page and onto the stage through song\, dance\, and oratory. \nJulian Brave NoiseCat—writer\, filmmaker\, and champion powwow dancer\, is a multi-hyphenate storyteller and artist from the Secwépemc and St’at’imc nations. His documentary\, Sugarcane\, directed alongside Emily Kassie was nominated for an Oscar in 2025. NoiseCat’s best selling book\, We Survived the Night\, grounds and is the source for this work.

SUMMARY:LaJuné McMillian - Constellations
DESCRIPTION:DATES:\nThursday\, February 19\, 2026\n5:30 pm \nFriday\, February 20\, 2026\n5:30 pm \nSaturday\, February 21\, 2026\n5:30 pm \nSunday\, February 22\, 2026\n5:30 pm\n______________________________\nWorld premiere \nDance  \nConstellations is a performance from LaJuné that weaves figure skating\, movement\, and projected light into a study of connection\, memory\, and renewal. Skaters appear as moving stars whose paths intersect\, separate\, and return to one another in a shifting constellation of shared experience.  The work highlights detailed movement and close formation patterns: light\, shadow\, and motion create a cosmic landscape where moments of solitude blend with moments of collective strength\, while sound and color shape an environment that feels expansive and grounded at the same time.  \nConstellations offers a portrait of community forming through movement. The performance centers care\, curiosity\, and the brilliance of embodied presence. The experience invites audiences into a world filled with resonance\, wonder\, and celestial energy.

SUMMARY:sweat variant / Okwui Okpokwasili & Peter Born - my tongue is a blade
DESCRIPTION:DATES:\nSaturday\, February 21\, 2026\n1:00—4:00 pm \nSunday\, February 22\, 2026\n1:00—4:00 pm\n________________________________\nUS premiere \nDance / Installation / Visual Art \nmy tongue is a blade is a three-hour movement performance-practice that is a work with relation\, memory\, and reflection. It asks: What are the limits of our attention and how does that test the strength of our bonds? Four performers commit to remembering each other\, holding each other\, bearing each other\, and sustaining the world that contains them. This rich visual and sonic landscape is an invitation to the audience to witness this practice and resonate within it.  \nmy tongue is a blade will be performed by Okwui Okpokwasili\, Bria Bacon\, Kris Lee and AJ Wilmore.  \nWe are interested in building a spectacle of radical intimacy\, where both performers and audience are acknowledged as being locked in a mutual gaze. We build gestural vocabularies and narrative frameworks that are concerned with the problem of memory in the inherent instability of the construction of a persona. \nWe hope to activate a space that allows the audience to question who they are looking at and how they are looking. We hope this creates a critical space of wonderment\, of uncertainty and of mystery. It is in this space that we believe we can see each other anew. \nPerformance details: This is a 180 minute durational piece – We encourage audiences to come and go throughout the piece. Entry is rolling through the duration of the installation\, and space is available on a first-come\, first-served basis with two slotted entry times. Guests are welcome to arrive any time at or after their ticketed admission and stay for as long as they like.

The work reimagines Koyaanisqatsi — Godfrey Reggio’s seminal 1982 film — using a generative AI model and ongoing conversations between Fitzgerald and Reggio. \nCast onto a drifting veil of mist\, light gathers\, fades\, and returns. The image breathes\, loosening the boundaries between atmosphere and environment\, machine and element\, presence and disappearance. As the very ground beneath us shifts from terra firma to techno firma\, the installation lingers at the threshold\, asking quietly: which age is this\, the sunset or the dawn?

DESCRIPTION:DATES:\nMonday\, February 16\, 2026\n11:00 am—5:00 pm \nTuesday\, February 17\, 2026\n11:00 am—5:00 pm \nWednesday\, February 18\, 2026\n11:00 am—5:00 pm \nThursday\, February 19\, 2026\n11:00 am—5:00 pm \nFriday\, February 20\, 2026\n11:00 am—5:00 pm \nSaturday\, February 21\, 2026\n11:00 am—5:00 pm \nSunday\, February 22\, 2026\n11:00 am—3:00 pm\n_____________________________________\nAudio & visual experience \nTicket price includes a copy of the book\, which contains a link to the audio track and can therefore be experienced again individually at any point\, in multiple languages. \nBorderline Visible begins as a journey from Lausanne to Izmir in 2022 by two artist friends\, one of whom must stop. As the other continues towards Turkey\, suddenly alone\, the narration grows into a moving and troubled psychogeography as it shifts between ‘we’ and ‘I\,’ present and past\, piecing together value and meaning from the very human ruins of aspiration\, history and language.  \nAnt Hampton’s careful\, at times miraculous\, process of reconnection gradually lights up a constellation: voices and earthquakes\, the Sephardic diaspora\, tourism and forced movement\, breakdowns and dementia\, the end of the Ottoman Empire\, swifts and swallows\, Eliot’s The Waste Land and an urgent insight into hidden atrocities at the edge of Europe being funded from its centre.  \nAnt Hampton is co-director of the Time Based Editions series\, publisher of Borderline Visible. As with all Time Based Editions\, an audio track combines narration\, soundscape and instructions that guide you over  a given time through the book. Ticket price includes a copy of the book\, which can be experienced again individually at any point in multiple languages. \n“The book-as-performance becomes a kind of “survival process” that illuminates those excluded from the country of the visible.” —Daniel Sack \n“Your understanding of what a book can be will change forever.” —Lara Pawson \n“Hampton has been creating an international furore for years with his autoteatro performance works without actors … ‘Borderline Visible’ is an extraordinary experience … The interplay between soundscape and picture book works perfectly. Sometimes pages are black or you have to close your eyes\, like black-outs in a film. Some pages you have to let slide past your fingers like an old filmstrip – then the landscape passes you by. Thus history\, politics and art come together poignantly\, in an intelligent work in which\, after Hampton\, the audience travels their own journey.” —De Volkskrant (NL) ★★★★☆ \n“an extremely engaging psychogeographical framework constantly enriched by Hampton’s searching mind and razor-sharp political rage.” —Marijn Lems\, Theaterkrant (NL) \n“…distilled with subtlety and humanity… A magnificent way of approaching politics through exploration\, extended time\, and touch.” —Marie-Pierre Genecand\, Le Temps (CH) \nWinner of the IDFA (International Documentary Festival Amsterdam) 2023 DocLab award for Creative Technologies.

SUMMARY:Sister Sylvester & Deniz Tortum - Shadowtime
DESCRIPTION:DATES:\nTuesday\, February 17\, 2026\n12:00—5:00 pm \nWednesday\, February 18\, 2026\n12:00—5:00 pm \nThursday\, February 19\, 2026\n12:00—5:00 pm \nFriday\, February 20\, 2026\n12:00—5:00 pm \nSaturday\, February 21\, 2026\n11:00 am—3:00 pm \nSunday\, February 22\, 2026\n11:00 am—3:00 pm\n_____________________________\nVirtual Reality / Film \n‘Shadowtime’ is a word drawn from a new lexicon for the anthropocene. It is the feeling of occupying two irreconcilable times simultaneously. Making breakfast for a child\, while knowing that in that child’s lifetime a species of flower that has existed for millennia has gone extinct. Driving to try and make work on time it occurs to you that the gas in your engine is the compressed bones of prehistoric creatures. \nShadowtime takes these temporal incompatibilities and explores them in the realm of virtual reality and simulation theory. To exist in the virtual world is to have two bodies\, four hands\, two hearts—to exist in two worlds at the same time. Alma\, a mysterious guide to this double world\, leads you through questions around climate crisis\, grief\, and the provocation of the virtual as a retreat or shelter\, or as a place from which to come to learn how to be in two places\, two times\, simultaneously.

SUMMARY:Ant Hampton with Tim Etchells - Not to Scale

Guided by a binaural soundtrack\, participants create a shared journey using pencil on blank sheets of paper. Crude doodles soon come to life in a comical and unsettling picture book narrative that plays constantly with the tension between creation and destruction\, life and death\, energy and entropy.  By simply following the prompts as best you can\, things start to happen: performance is triggered from even the smallest movement. \nThings – stories\, pictures\, ideas – appear and disappear constantly on the page\, a site which starts to unfold into a lo-fi carnival of possibility; a carnage of crossing out\, overlapped drawings and landscape traces. \nLike Ant Hampton’s other ‘autoteatro’ work\, including his previous collaborations with Tim Etchells (The Quiet Volume\, Lest We See)\, by simply following the prompts as best you can\, things start to happen: performance is triggered from even the smallest movement. And they have never been so small.

Two audience members sit side-by-side taking cues from words both written and whispered—via an iPod and headphones—and find themselves burrowing an unlikely path through a pile of books. The piece exposes the strange magic at the heart of the reading experience\, allowing aspects of it we think of as deeply internal to lean out into the surrounding space\, and to leak from one reader’s sphere into another’s. \nThe Quiet Volume won a Bessie Award for Outstanding Sound Design in 2013. \n“This now of the page is what grips me – the present moment\, this one\, summoned here with this arrangement of marks/code\, ink/pixels\, letters and words.”  – Tim Etchells \n‘The Quiet Volume’\, this play by Ant Hampton and Tim Etchells leading a spectator into the world of books\, is theatre of a very magical kind. A theatre of the gradual construction of thoughts whilst seeing\, listening and reading. A theatre that pulls the world in and around\, closer to and into the spectator\, by making the very ability to read the world its thematic focus point. (…) It offers a kind of instruction for how to become blind: effectively nothing other than the careful readjustment of sight. Here it works most beautifully\, because the direction of viewing or thinking suggested to the spectator via headphones and text always works both internally and externally\, focussing on the material objects just as much as on the clusters of thoughts to which they are attached. ” —Doris Meierhenrich\, Berliner Zeitung\, 20.09.2010. original german here \n“…the feeling of heightened awareness in which every sound is magnified\, every movement has increased significance and all words dance with possibility (…) there is a sense that we are all privately running amok in the libraries of our minds.” —Lyn Gardner\, The Guardian.

NOWISWHENWEARE (the stars) is a new interactive theatrical installation that pushes this idea to its literal extreme.  \nAn unseen narrator guides each participant through an individualized journey into a precisely programmed matrix of light—and the cosmos of themselves. the stars traces every decision that you have ever made as a contributing factor to being ‘here’ and being ‘now.’ With nearly 4\,000 reactive LED lights and a 496-channel soundscape\, Andrew Schneider’s powerful installation draws you into a contemplative and deeply personal encounter with time\, memory and presence. Part-meditation\, part-exploration\,  this dazzling fusion of tech and theatre is a rare chance to get lost in the stars.  \nTwo distinct experiences are offered in The Dark – Open Universe and Guided – each unique and compelling in different ways.  \nThis is a non-seated\, interactive experience in which audience members are free to move around the space. The venue is wheelchair and walker accessible\, and chairs can be provided on request.

SUMMARY:David Lang & Bill Morrison / Ensemble Contemporaneous - darker
DESCRIPTION:Film with Live Score / Music  \nLive film score performed by Ensemble Contemporaneous \nDavid Lang and Bill Morrison have collaborated for nearly 25 years and darker is their tenth collaboration. \nLang and Morrison drew inspiration from a minimal score to create a film that\, like the music\, can exist both before and under the viewer’s eyelids: a slowly\, lilting depiction of the sublime\, where actors\, dancers and acrobats reappear and then disappear back into a bubbling morass of time.  \nIn many ways darker is more like an object than a piece of music. An extreme exploration of emotional restraint\, darker is both highly detailed and relentlessly restrained\, requiring an almost superhuman focus in order to keep it moving\, inexorably\, towards its end.  –David Lang  \n“With his winning of the Pulitzer Prize for the little match girl passion (one of the most original and moving scores of recent years)\, Lang\, once a postminimalist enfant terrible\, has solidified his standing as an American master.” –The New Yorker

SUMMARY:Music by Peni Candra Rini with Andy McGraw / Director Garin Nugroho - Setan Jawa
DESCRIPTION:Film with Live Score / Music \nSetio\, a young poor man\, falls in love with Asih\, a beautiful aristocrat\, but the woman’s family rejects his marriage proposal. Despairing\, he makes a deal with the devil so he can spend the rest of his life with the woman he loves\, but his pact comes at a price. \nNugroho’s Setan Jawa is a silent film with live score created by celebrated Indonesian composer and singer\, Peni Candra Rini with Andy McGraw. The film explores Indonesia’s pre-orthodox Islamic stories of the seven deals man makes with the devil in order to gain wealth\, and the live score dramatically underpins the mysticism and sensuality of Nugroho’s tale of love and sacrifice.  \nSetan Jawa evokes Javanese mythology through a lens of contemporary horror\, inspired by the perennial silent film classic\, Murnau’s Nosferatu. Peni Candra Runi is an extraordinary singer\, master of several traditional forms\, and regarded as one of Indonesia’s most daring young composers. Nugroho is a pioneer of Indonesian cinema represented in Cannes\, Berlin\, Venice\, and beyond.

DESCRIPTION:Music \nAs a musician\, and as a nun\, Emahoy Tsegué-Maryam Guèbrou found peace in the night. At times she composed and played the piano into the early hours of the morning or woke as early as two o’clock to pray: “Everything is silent\, quiet\,” she explained\, “so you are more close to God.”  \nIn Night Prayers\, pianist Thomas Feng performs compositions by Guèbrou alongside beloved works by Beethoven and Chopin that she kept in her room until her passing. Set amongst an immersive starscape installation by Andrew Schneider\, this program conjures the rarefied stillness and spirituality of Guèbrou’s nights.

Skaters appear as moving stars whose paths intersect\, separate\, and return to one another in a shifting constellation of shared experience.  The work highlights detailed movement and close formation patterns: light\, shadow\, and motion create a cosmic landscape where moments of solitude blend with moments of collective strength\, while sound and color shape an environment that feels expansive and grounded at the same time.  \nConstellations offers a portrait of community forming through movement. The performance centers care\, curiosity\, and the brilliance of embodied presence. The experience invites audiences into a world filled with resonance\, wonder\, and celestial energy.

SUMMARY:John Fitzgerald - The Vivid Unknown: CloudQatsi
DESCRIPTION:DATES:\nMonday\, February 16\, 2026\n12—8 pm \nTuesday\, February 17\, 2026\n12—8 pm \nWednesday\, February 18\, 2026\n12—8 pm \nThursday\, February 19\, 2026\n12—8 pm \nFriday\, February 20\, 2026\n12—8 pm \nSaturday\, February 21\, 2026\n12—8 pm \nSunday\, February 22\, 2026\n12—8 pm\n_______________________________\nUS premiere \nVisual Art /  Installation / Film\nFree \nThe Vivid Unknown: CloudQatsi is an ephemeral installation of projected light and water vapor\, shaped by the violent nexus of nature\, humans\, and technology. The work reimagines Koyaanisqatsi — Godfrey Reggio’s seminal 1982 film — using a generative AI model and ongoing conversations between Fitzgerald and Reggio. \nCast onto a drifting veil of mist\, light gathers\, fades\, and returns. The image breathes\, loosening the boundaries between atmosphere and environment\, machine and element\, presence and disappearance. As the very ground beneath us shifts from terra firma to techno firma\, the installation lingers at the threshold\, asking quietly: which age is this\, the sunset or the dawn?

SUMMARY:Sister Sylvester & Deniz Tortum - Shadowtime
DESCRIPTION:DATES:\nTuesday\, February 17\, 2026\n12:00—5:00 pm \nWednesday\, February 18\, 2026\n12:00—5:00 pm \nThursday\, February 19\, 2026\n12:00—5:00 pm \nFriday\, February 20\, 2026\n12:00—5:00 pm \nSaturday\, February 21\, 2026\n11:00 am—3:00 pm \nSunday\, February 22\, 2026\n11:00 am—3:00 pm\n_____________________________\nVirtual Reality / Film \n‘Shadowtime’ is a word drawn from a new lexicon for the anthropocene. It is the feeling of occupying two irreconcilable times simultaneously. Making breakfast for a child\, while knowing that in that child’s lifetime a species of flower that has existed for millennia has gone extinct. Driving to try and make work on time it occurs to you that the gas in your engine is the compressed bones of prehistoric creatures. \nShadowtime takes these temporal incompatibilities and explores them in the realm of virtual reality and simulation theory. To exist in the virtual world is to have two bodies\, four hands\, two hearts—to exist in two worlds at the same time. Alma\, a mysterious guide to this double world\, leads you through questions around climate crisis\, grief\, and the provocation of the virtual as a retreat or shelter\, or as a place from which to come to learn how to be in two places\, two times\, simultaneously.

SUMMARY:Ant Hampton with Tim Etchells - Not to Scale
DESCRIPTION:DATES:\nTuesday\, February 17\, 2026\n12:00—5:00 pm \nWednesday\, February 18\, 2026\n12:00—5:00 pm \nThursday\, February 19\, 2026\n12:00—5:00 pm \nFriday\, February 20\, 2026\n12:00—5:00 pm \nSaturday\, February 21\, 2026\n11:00 am—3:00 pm \nSunday\, February 22\, 2026\n11:00 am—3:00 pm\n_________________________________\nUS premiere \nAudio experience / Participation \nNot to Scale is a full-length ‘autoteatro’ performance which draws two participants into shared experiments and intertwined processes of drawing\, erasing and listening. Guided by a binaural soundtrack\, participants create a shared journey using pencil on blank sheets of paper. Crude doodles soon come to life in a comical and unsettling picture book narrative that plays constantly with the tension between creation and destruction\, life and death\, energy and entropy.  By simply following the prompts as best you can\, things start to happen: performance is triggered from even the smallest movement. \nThings – stories\, pictures\, ideas – appear and disappear constantly on the page\, a site which starts to unfold into a lo-fi carnival of possibility; a carnage of crossing out\, overlapped drawings and landscape traces. \nLike Ant Hampton’s other ‘autoteatro’ work\, including his previous collaborations with Tim Etchells (The Quiet Volume\, Lest We See)\, by simply following the prompts as best you can\, things start to happen: performance is triggered from even the smallest movement. And they have never been so small.

The work is Inspired by the blank and torn-out pages in “Constantinopoliad\, an epic\,” the journal the teenage Cavafy began when he and his family fled Alexandria; by lost and missing archives through time; and by the ghosts\, both erotic and historical\, that visit the older Cavafy in his poems.

SUMMARY:Ant Hamptom with Tim Etchells - The Quiet Volume
DESCRIPTION:DATES:\nTuesday\, February 17\, 2026\n11:00 am—5:00 pm \nWednesday\, February 18\, 2026\n11:00 am—5:00 pm \nThursday\, February 19\, 2026\n11:00 am—5:00 pm \nFriday\, February 20\, 2026\n11:00 am—5:00 pm \nSaturday\, February 21\, 2026\n11:00 am—3:00 pm\n_________________________________\nAudio & reading experience / Theatre \nThe Quiet Volume is a whispered\, self-generated and ‘automatic’ performance for two at a time\, exploiting the particular tension common to any library worldwide; a combination of silence and concentration within which different people’s experiences of reading unfold. Two audience members sit side-by-side taking cues from words both written and whispered—via an iPod and headphones—and find themselves burrowing an unlikely path through a pile of books. The piece exposes the strange magic at the heart of the reading experience\, allowing aspects of it we think of as deeply internal to lean out into the surrounding space\, and to leak from one reader’s sphere into another’s. \nThe Quiet Volume won a Bessie Award for Outstanding Sound Design in 2013. \n“This now of the page is what grips me – the present moment\, this one\, summoned here with this arrangement of marks/code\, ink/pixels\, letters and words.”  – Tim Etchells \n‘The Quiet Volume’\, this play by Ant Hampton and Tim Etchells leading a spectator into the world of books\, is theatre of a very magical kind. A theatre of the gradual construction of thoughts whilst seeing\, listening and reading. A theatre that pulls the world in and around\, closer to and into the spectator\, by making the very ability to read the world its thematic focus point. (…) It offers a kind of instruction for how to become blind: effectively nothing other than the careful readjustment of sight. Here it works most beautifully\, because the direction of viewing or thinking suggested to the spectator via headphones and text always works both internally and externally\, focussing on the material objects just as much as on the clusters of thoughts to which they are attached. ” —Doris Meierhenrich\, Berliner Zeitung\, 20.09.2010. original german here \n“…the feeling of heightened awareness in which every sound is magnified\, every movement has increased significance and all words dance with possibility (…) there is a sense that we are all privately running amok in the libraries of our minds.” —Lyn Gardner\, The Guardian.

As the other continues towards Turkey\, suddenly alone\, the narration grows into a moving and troubled psychogeography as it shifts between ‘we’ and ‘I\,’ present and past\, piecing together value and meaning from the very human ruins of aspiration\, history and language.  \nAnt Hampton’s careful\, at times miraculous\, process of reconnection gradually lights up a constellation: voices and earthquakes\, the Sephardic diaspora\, tourism and forced movement\, breakdowns and dementia\, the end of the Ottoman Empire\, swifts and swallows\, Eliot’s The Waste Land and an urgent insight into hidden atrocities at the edge of Europe being funded from its centre.  \nAnt Hampton is co-director of the Time Based Editions series\, publisher of Borderline Visible. As with all Time Based Editions\, an audio track combines narration\, soundscape and instructions that guide you over  a given time through the book. Ticket price includes a copy of the book\, which can be experienced again individually at any point in multiple languages. \n“The book-as-performance becomes a kind of “survival process” that illuminates those excluded from the country of the visible.” —Daniel Sack \n“Your understanding of what a book can be will change forever.” —Lara Pawson \n“Hampton has been creating an international furore for years with his autoteatro performance works without actors … ‘Borderline Visible’ is an extraordinary experience … The interplay between soundscape and picture book works perfectly. Sometimes pages are black or you have to close your eyes\, like black-outs in a film. Some pages you have to let slide past your fingers like an old filmstrip – then the landscape passes you by. Thus history\, politics and art come together poignantly\, in an intelligent work in which\, after Hampton\, the audience travels their own journey.” —De Volkskrant (NL) ★★★★☆ \n“an extremely engaging psychogeographical framework constantly enriched by Hampton’s searching mind and razor-sharp political rage.” —Marijn Lems\, Theaterkrant (NL) \n“…distilled with subtlety and humanity… A magnificent way of approaching politics through exploration\, extended time\, and touch.” —Marie-Pierre Genecand\, Le Temps (CH) \nWinner of the IDFA (International Documentary Festival Amsterdam) 2023 DocLab award for Creative Technologies.
