Deep Time is an exploration and deconstruction of time and the limits of adaptation, set in a parallel dimension that emerges as a resonance of our real world. Three performers shapeshift, each carrying multilayered identities, becoming landscape, material, and living beings. These multiple interconnections invite the audience into a world that redefines traditional human hierarchies and structures, where all beings and materials coexist through challenges and complex encounters. Deep Time is an invitation to reflect on our ability to actively reimagine the world, and to question the limits of our adaptability.
“Deep Time is both a physical journey and a quiet philosophical reckoning—introspective, beautifully detailed, and profoundly human. ” – ArtsTalkMagazine
“With Deep Time, Astrid Boons presents an impressive vision of fear (…) executed with utmost consistency and originality.” – de Volkskrant ★★★★
“In Deep Time, Astrid Boons crafts a haunting, cerebral experience that lingers long after the final movement. (…) unsettling, intimate, and deeply thought-provoking.” – ArtsTalkMagazine
