Torn Space's 2022 Silo City installation performance, Ages, is an operatic examination of the ages and stages of life. In this peaceful interactive performance, audience, pedestrians, and picnickers gather to witness life's overlapping beautiful and simple moments. The shared human moments of independence and co-dependence, love and loss, accidents and miracles, and the here and now play out over the timeline of the universe. Familiar figures in the Torn Space mythology return, presenting the growing family of their multi-generational fictional society.
