Departing from Monteverdi's Lamento della Ninfa, WITHIN TIME is a performance that reflects on the shock and deep sorrow stemming from abruptly broken promises. A sudden new truth emerges. The performance connects different feelings that people experienced during the period of lockdown; anger, relief, resignation, breathlessness and grief. The singers, the musicians and the dancer give solitary emotions a place in a larger whole and during the performance different pieces of music grow together into one score.
