Inspired by Kafka, The Gap takes the form of an installation-performance-concert in which nothing unfolds linearly. It is a machine for traveling through space and time – a continuum suspended between past and future, decay and renewal – featuring fourteen performers, speakers, video and a distinctive set design.
