Work Overview
String Theory aims to capture the mood of Bill Spence's book about theoretical physics, 'Everything Is Now': enthusiastic, curious, full of surprises, positive, joyful, and written for the layperson. The 6 movements are made with rounds, loops and twisting of ideas. There are places in which players are instructed to play out of time with each other.
