Time in a Bottle (Original Music by Dr. Stephen Downing)
Time in a Bottle is a show that explores how beauty blossoms like flowers in the sands of time. Flowers, with their vivid colors and delicate forms, represent the fleeting beauty that emerges even in the harshest landscapes, while the sands of time embody both endurance and inevitability. The musical language draws upon the mystique and richness of ancient desert cultures, evoking a world where shifting dunes and timeless skies create a stage for life’s most fragile wonders to appear. Just as love is bound by the vessel of our minds and bodies, so too is beauty contained and preserved within the vessel of the vase; fragile yet enduring, holding what otherwise might be lost. Time in a Bottle reminds us that beauty, though fleeting, can be cherished and carried forward. As Carolynne McDonald writes, “we set out through the sands of time, to give flowers to our loved ones as they stand before us, alive, well, and beautiful.”
