Photography: Laurel Turton

 

Timeless Figure is about Time. This complete performance sees J.B.Joyce (Peter Edge) making clocks in Shropshire in 1680. He moves through a world changing with dizzying speed, portrayed through Laurel Turton’s stunning merged and overlaid images. These challenge our assumptions of Time’s visual impact. Shropshire clockwork merges into urban, rural and seascapes in the United States. Joyce reflects on ‘Time, a maniac’ in Tennyson’s words set against a frantic marimba. Passengers pass under Joyce’s Liverpool clock to escape Irish Famine or flee mill work to holiday. Marconi’s single radio signal makes Joyce realise that ‘Time stands still’.

 

The initial broadcast of Timeless Figure featured the complete show, filmed live with singer, clarinet, viola and marimba performing in front of Laurel Turton’s specially commissioned images. Afterwards, join composer/librettist Martin Bussey, photographer Laurel Turton (live from the US!) and singer, Peter Edge to ask your questions: Why Shropshire? Why those three instruments? Why and where were the images taken?

 

All ages (mostly adults)
