In The Back Of Time / Puppet Theatre Ljubljana, Ljubljana 2016

Project by Meta Grgurevič and Urša Vidic

Multi-media spatial layout of moving images, objects, music, light in performance  was based on the motives of the book "To the Lighthouse" by renowned modernist writer Virginia Woolf.
The rhythm of the space is dictated by moving objects, words, sounds, music and performance; they follow the atmosphere, containing the elements and the characters from the story.

On one hand, the work tells us about the nourishment of the artistic creative process, explained through the vision of unmarried painter Lily Briscoe.

On the other hand the excitement stems from the pursuit of a slight balance between belonging to intimacy within the family through the vision of beloved, charitable, mother and wife Mrs. Ramsay.
The work contains the balance between inner desire to become an artist, finding happiness either in the act of creation or in a small everyday miracles.
Internal dialogue between the objects, music and performance is like an inverted pocket of consciousness, invites the viewer to indulge in colored dreams, the impressions of visual and sensual images, from  which the spectator can create its own interpretation of the content. The creative flow is like a stream of consciousness evolving in the shelter of time.
