This ballett is made for those of you who have everything but time. Time remains a mystery and a riddle, a challenge we carry with us as long as we’re here. All that we know that we have is this mooment, right now ! I asked my son what time is, and he answered that time is a door that goes both ways. A little girl said that time is something transparent that’s there all the time ! Some spend all their lives waiting to start living. I’ve been preoccupied with time throughout my run as a choreographer. Earlier ballets on the same theme:Nå (Now) for the National Ballet in 1985, and Øyeblikk ( The Moment) in 1992.
