Time is everywhere. We’re surrounded by it. We can’t escape it. Or can we…?
After five years of fast-paced burnt-out always-on city life, Miranda thought about time all the time - so she gave it up.
Musing on climate change, capitalism, human extinction and the ever-present threat that crabs might take over the world, this is the story of how Miranda left the city, took to the canals, travelled to a remote Scottish island and formed questionable relationships with moorhens in her quest to escape time.
In an offbeat mashup of storytelling, movement, existential angst and one outrageous musical number, Miranda will attempt to deconstruct and rebuild her own perception of time (and yours!) - all while wearing sparkly antlers.
An Attempt to Lose Time is a playful, surreal and surprising meditation on time blending the personal and the collective, a questioning of the status quo and an invitation to see time differently.
