The Array: Less Than Zero

UpInTheAir Theatre in association with What Lab present THE ARRAY: Less Than Zero. For 3 nights only from Thursday October 9th to Saturday October 11th, The Array is the ultimate fusion of sci-fi thrills with new, experimental performances. These 3 brand new works will be created by The Biting School, Anjela Magpantay, Abi Padilla, & Argel Monte de Ramos, and UpInTheAir and staged at What Lab on 1814 Pandora Street.

Now in its fifth instalment, The Array continues to draw inspiration from recent discoveries in astrophysics. This year’s theme: the bizarre paradox of negative time in the quantum world. In recent quantum experiments, physicists have sent light-pulses through the equivalent of a tunnel, but somehow the pulses spent less than zero time travelling through. These quantum behaviours have called into question our understanding of past, present, and future. The Array will showcase 3 unique responses to that shared theme.

Shapes of Arrival

The intimate time and the sparse space between us. The two of us. The all of us. The intimacy of bodies in close proximity, or bodies gathered in a theatrical space watching a performance prepared for us. This is a study of expectation, and of hopeful pleasure. The desire within us and the fragile contract between us.
