Composer
Marvin Black
The Greenwich foot tunnel, built in 1903, is a pedestrian passageway running under the Thames. During bombing raids in the Second World War, Londoners would shelter in the tunnel, creating a home-from-home with their bags and boxes of treasured possessions. Something of their presence still echoes in this strange subterranean environment.
In this film, five performers are making their separate journeys through the tunnel, becoming increasingly absorbed by its brooding presence and the resonance of the structure. Past and present intrude on each other; time becomes fluid, whirling performers along the tunnel and across the boundary between now and then.
