Roberta Maimone (2025-Now)
It’s About Time (2026)
A strange humanoid is born into an empty space. In her arms she holds the severed head of a bird, a vulture.
At first, it cannot survive without her. The humanoid feeds it breath, movement, and attention to keep it alive. But as her care grows, the creature’s eyes begin to look back. Premonitions from the past begin to transform the new world around them, and soon they cannot outrun their fate.
It’s About Time combines physical theater, puppetry, projection and live sound to offer a glimpse into a near future, where the fundamental binaries of life on Earth have dissolved. Human vs. machine, human vs. animal, and Self vs. Other – everything must be re-created in this world.
This piece is both tender and grotesque, and explores questions of identity, vulnerability, and transformation.
