MOMENT in TIME unfolds like the pages of a cherished photo album. Each scene, meticulously crafted by Tobin & Gunst, emerges from black and white photographs, inviting the audience into a realm where the ordinary transforms into the extraordinary. Through the artistry of puppets, masks, movement, and imagery, Tobin & Gunst eloquently tell stories in a universal language without words. The stark contrast of black and white enhances the drama, creating a hauntingly familiar yet entirely unique experience for the viewers. Inspired by real-life situations captured in black and white photographs, this performance paints an evocative portrait of the human condition.
Music by Jesse Manno
