The Idle Hour is a thought-provoking, non-verbal performance that explores the relentless pursuit of productivity in modern society. Set against a stark stage with a human-sized hamster wheel, the piece features two acrobats whose contrasting personalities —one frantic and the other calm— unfold through a series of physical interactions. The wheel becomes both a symbol and an instrument of their existential struggle: a metaphor for the endless race toward an elusive happiness. Through a fusion of acrobatics, dance, and sound, the performance invites the audience to reflect on the pressures of modern life, the search for meaning, and the potential for peace amidst chaos.
