Event Details
To celebrate its ruby jubilee, ELISION presents the Australian premiere of The Tailor of Time, Liza Lim's landmark commission for the Ensemble Intercontemporain of Paris. This work for a 30-piece ensemble is steeped in the world of Sufi poet Rumi's images of longing, desire, bewilderment and annihilation in the face of Divine love.
