In a Heartbeat

Life moves so fast, and at the same time so slowly. In a Heartbeat is an investigation of time, impermanence and mortality created through a dialogue spanning generations.

In a Heartbeat is a work of visual theatre created by Barking Spider artists, originally created for Monash Centre for Theatre and Performance and residents of Corpus Christi, Residential Aged Care. In a Heartbeat is tour-ready – please contact us for 2020/21 presenting options.

Employing verbatim theatre techniques “In a Heartbeat” is an immersive and interactive experience for audiences. It is compelling, beautiful, delightful and moving.
