TIME GOES BYE BYE

It takes time to understand time. — Alan BurdickA little while is longer than a bit is longer than soon is longer than in a second.This performance has barely begun and it’s already finished.The concept of ‘time’ is self-evident to adults. For children, it’s an inexplicable convention.In TIME GOES BYE BYE, we linearly juxtapose two ways to experience time: that of adults versus children.In one experience, time seems to constantly disappear, just when you need it the most.In the other, summer holidays are endless, car rides between Antwerp and Mechelen take forever plus ten years, parties are over before they’ve really begun, and there’s a constant stream of adults endlessly repeating something about too late! Too late! What, too late? Is my drawing too late? Is it suddenly autumn? Odd creatures.Time is one of the great mysteries that has been on human minds for centuries. And at the end, finitude awaits. And that’s impossible to understand, for adults or children.
