In Search of Lost Time

While straddling an uncertain future and a realised past, we all spend our allotted time. Each of us has various ways of doing this and, as much of my time is spent travelling, literature has evolved as my constant companion.

As I became increasingly aware of the musical citations in literature contrasted with the literary citations in musical scores, the concept of developing a polyphonic collage dawned on me and I was driven to conceive a production to display the artistic synergy of both media.

The objective of the on-going, international effort that is In Search of Lost Time is to re-capture the intensity and complexity of the literary, dramatic and musical art forms, presenting them as equal partners on stage and highlighting how they have inspired and influenced one another and thus ultimately allowed art to be re-born of art.
