Details

Driven by his love of words, Jorge Borges constantly questioned and translated the world around him, bringing forth images of labyrinths, tigers and a universe of libraries. Total Theatre Award nominated Idle Motion explore the parallels between Borges' life, his stories, and his readership, taking you on a journey where books transform from a flock of birds, to a city, to an airplane. As these worlds collide, a vivid portrait of a man emerges during which we witness the aspirations of a librarian and love found in a book group. Devised by the company and Julian Spooner.
