Where the Hourglass Stops

Created, directed, and written by Giulia Vitiello, Sharo Liang, Kano Yanagiya Performed by Giulia Vitiello Voice over actor Taishi Mashimo A woman is sitting in front of a table in an empty room. An inquisitive voice coming from a speaker asks her questions. The woman's answers don’t seem to always match the questions. Her blurred memories emerge, become vivid, and then disappear again. The dialogue follows antiparallel lines, sometimes seems to match, and then goes back into following different directions. This piece brings the audience on a journey exploring the themes of stream of consciousness, memory, denial, fragmentation, forced communication, confinement, rejection of society, and identity.
