Saturday, March 21, 6:30 p.m. | This sci-fi meditation on love and time, imagines a society where temporal fractures continually reshape lives and relationships. Penelope and Isidoros live in a world where today they are lovers but the following day they are estranged. Time doesn’t flow forward in linear progression; days from the past, present, and the future appear randomly when they awake each morning. As such, their relationship is constantly uncertain and marked by shared searching and reassuring. Somewhere next to their world is another where time is linear. It is possible to travel from arbitrary time to linear time, but the conditions for such a journey are mysterious and the price is high.
