An Attempt to Lose Time
Would it be possible to live without time?
Featuring musings on climate change, quantum physics, the destruction of humanity and dinosaurs, this solo show sees Miranda leave the city, take to the canals, travel to a remote Scottish island and form questionable relationships with moorhens in her quest to escape time.
An Attempt to Lose Time is a playful, surreal and surprising meditation on time blending the personal and the collective, a questioning of the status quo and an invitation to see time differently.
★★★★ "Witty, moving and relatable" Everything Theatre
“Utterly hilarious…charming, funny and darkly comic. A very memorable piece which will stick in the mind long after other shows have been confined to brain-dust.” FringeReview on This Is Just Who I Am, 2018
Presented by: Miranda Prag
Miranda Prag is a performance maker and canal dweller based in the UK. Her work looks at big themes on a minute scale, unpacking the building blocks of everyday life and questioning concepts that are often taken for granted. It explores the way our perceptions of the world and the pressure to conform to social conventions shape our experience, playfully interrogating this using autobiography, documentary, movement, audience interaction, striking visuals, self-satire and irony. An Attempt to Lose Time is her second solo show: it was initially developed as part of a Starting Blocks residency at Camden People's Theatre, and created with support from Spot On Lancashire, Theatre by the Lake, Rosehill Theatre, The Dukes and Arts Council England.
