View all →About This Event
On October 31, 2026, at Tramway in Glasgow, audiences will be treated to NOW NOT NOW, an inventive performance featuring two performers and their eerie video counterparts as they traverse a surreal, looping morning. This mind-bending show, conceived by the creators of the internationally acclaimed The Making of Pinocchio, delves into the strange ways we experience time, offering a darkly humorous and disorienting exploration of our daily routines. Immerse yourself in this live theatrical experience that challenges your perceptions and encapsulates the elusive nature of time.
Two performers and their uncanny video doubles spiral through a strange, looping morning, in a mind-bending performance exploring how we live, slip and stall in time. Created by the team behind international hit The Making of Pinocchio , NOW NOT NOW is a darkly funny and disorientating dive into the peculiar ways we experience the flow of time. Set inside a warped morning routine, leaving the house on time becomes an epic struggle as tasks loop, snag and unravel. Manipulated video playback fractures the moment, as tempos diverge and multiple realities fall in and out of sync. Slow-motion selves and sped-up ghosts haunt the kitchen, revealing the absurdity of trying to keep pace with a frantic world that’s running out of time. Zooming between the domestic and the existential, the personal and the planetary, NOW NOT NOW is a visceral encounter with finitude, neurodivergence and the relentless demands of late-stage capitalism. Commissioned by Tramway, Southbank Centre and Unlimited. An Unlimited International Strategic Commission made possible thanks to funding from the British Council. Supported by the National Lottery through Creative Scotland. ACCESS Captioned Relaxed Performance Audiences can come and go as needed Recommended for ages 16+ Audience notes The performance will contain smoke Duration - 90 mins, no interval CREDITS Co-Created by Rosana Cade, Ivor MacAskill, Tim Spooner and Yas Clarke Lighting Designer – Michaella Fee Production Manager – Craig Fleming, SNC Productions Producer – Sarah Gray Commissioned by Tramway, Southbank Centre and Unlimited. An Unlimited International Strategic Commission made possible thanks to funding from the British Council. Developed with support from New Diorama Theatre, Gessnerallee, National Theatre of Scotland, Wysing Arts Centre, Cambridge Junction, Live Art Development Agency and Take Me Somewhere. ‘The duo holds the audience with a brand of mischievous humour that’s provocative and reassuring in equal measure’ Exeunt on The Making of Pinocchio Photo - Mihaela Bodlovic
