The Library of Babel

after Jorge Luis Borges

 

premiered September 2017

 

“In The Library Of Babel, we share space and focus on the now. We hold each other in mutual presence, perfectly tangible in our flesh and blood, and we allow time to take on a quality of irrefutable authenticity.” Suzy Wrong

 

Do you dare to enter the Library, knowing that everything you are, or could be, is contained inside? Inspired by Jorge Luis Borges’ short story of the same title, The Library of Babel is an immersive, interactive labyrinth of hexagonal galleries. Audiences must find their way through the maze and the vast array of personalities hiding within. Beware eternal traveler, only if you dare enter the Library may you hope to find its centre and the answers you seek.
