In this multimedia chamber opera, renowned South African artist Kentridge joins forces with a composer, a choreographer, a video designer, and a physicist to deliver an astonishing collision of art and performance. Sharing the stage with a menagerie of strange machines of his own invention, along with singers, dancers, and musicians, Kentridge conjures a stunning and profound exploration of the nature of time. Refuse the Hour is co-sponsored by the Andrew Carnduff Ritchie Fund, Yale Center for British Art, Yale Institute of Sacred Music, Yale Repertory Theatre, Yale School of Music, and Yale University Art Gallery.
Tickets are $50–70: yalerep.org; 203-432-1234; Box Office, 1120 Chapel St. Student tickets are $25.
Refuse the Hour is the chamber opera companion to Kentridge’s five-channel video installation The Refusal of Time. Q and A sessions will be held immediately following each performance.
