VEXATIONS IN TIME to be Remounted at the Cell Theatre

Erik Satie's one-page piano composition titled Vexations, meant to be played for 840 consecutive repetitions, serves as the background for "Vexations in Time," an immersive, interdisciplinary, and semi-improvisatory performance art piece which invites audiences and performers alike to meditate on the extremes of order and chaos, of isolation and collaboration, and on the flexibility of time, specifically in response to the past two years of global uncertainty.
