"When I hear what we call music it seems to me that someone is talking and talking about his feelings or about his ideas or his relationships. But when I hear traffic, the sound of traffic here on 6th Avenue for instance, I don't have the feeling that anyone is talking. I have the feeling that sound is acting. And I Iove the activity of sound. What is does is it gets louder and quieter and it gets higher and lower and it gets longer and shorter. It does all those things which I've.. I'm completely satisfied with that - I don't need sound to talk to me." John Cage |

as far as the eye can hear is the last step of RUNNING TIMES, a cycle on the theme of time, initiated in 2007.
Devised for three protagonists, this performance aims to construct an image of time.
A form in perpetual becoming that simultaneously coalesces and unravels.
While the environment, whether urban, rural, sheltered, windy, will be taken into account, our intention is to create our own landscape; a
landscape within a landscape, a climate within a climate.
How might this image be framed inside the broader image of the outdoor setting?
