Description "Our Brief Eternity" is a relentless and mesmerising investigation of the minute and intimate acts which add up to the monumental force of modern progress.
Three dancers embark on a riveting, grueling ritual of hypnotic movement, driven by the relentless beat of Jean-Yves Theriault's electronic-industrial score, William Morrison's filmic images relay their movement from impossible angles, at once instant feedback, surveillance and display. Projected text by science-fiction novelist William Gibson and writer Chris Halcrow evoke a distinct, dystopian tone.
