A Hadean-period rock, estimated to be over 4 billion years old, hangs from the ceiling. Becky, Steve, and Colin face it; they circle around it, whistling and breathing. Their breath subtly moves the rock in a poetic form of wind erosion; humans, with their brief time on earth, interacting with an object of unfathomable age.

This is David Lang's Lifespan, premiered by The Crossing in 2014 in collaboration with the artists Allora & Calzadilla and The Fabric Workshop and Museum.

Directed by Donald Nally and produced by The Cleveland Museum of Art.

Join us this Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, January 6-8, at The Cleveland Museum of Art. Five shows per day.
