Ghost Story by THIRTYMINUTES and Luke Hathaway is now live

September 11th, 2023

Music/experimental film/poetry

"A man encounters a ghost of himself, walking down a road in rural New Brunswick; a

person in a studio opens a box; hands flip the pages of Bach’s Chaconne....

Who are these people? How are they connected?

Our Ghost Story asks you to entertain the radical interpenetration of identities that

happens around crisis, when in addition to being characters in one another’s dramas we

become one another in astonishing ways."
