Summary
Once Within a Time is an anarchic comedy told without words, a sensory feast to be felt through art and music. This multidisciplinary work shows us life on Earth as humanity clashes with the five fundamental elements-earth, air, water, fire, and money- headed towards a critical moment of choice between annihilation and redemption.
