Upintheair Theatre in association with What Lab presents The Array: Less Than Zero. Taking place from October 9 to 11, The Array is the ultimate fusion of sci-fi thrills with new, experimental performances.
The Array is now in its fifth instalment and continues to draw inspiration from recent discoveries in astrophysics. Four brand-new works—created by The Biting School, Robyn Jacob, Upintheair Theatre, and trio Anjela Magpantay, Abi Padilla, and Argel Monte de Ramos—will be staged at What Lab.
This year’s theme is the bizarre paradox of negative time in the quantum world. In recent quantum experiments, physicists have sent light-pulses through the equivalent of a tunnel, but somehow the pulses spent less than zero time travelling through. These quantum behaviours have called into question humankind’s understanding of past, present, and future.
The Array will showcase four unique responses to that shared theme.
