The Local Sky Tonight or What Is Being Refused is part planetarium show, and part rumination on Alice in Wonderland, the nature of rabbits and heroes: an off-kilter guide to the stars tonight.

"I'm late, I'm late for my entire life! To do lists referencing to do lists, referencing calendars referencing alerts long since ignored. The giant clock of the cosmos… sun rise, sunset: that song repeatedly stuck in my mind…."

Duration: 35 minutes

First performed: February 2016, FADO, Toronto, Ontario
