A family home on historic Ruckers Hill. Please, sit down, make yourself at home. Welcome to Dwelling Structure: An Opera in 8 Time Use Episodes, where—to borrow from Emily Dickinson—you will dwell in possibility, a doorless house. Abstractions of statistical reasoning are transformed into an aural architecture. Perceptive listening yields intuitions about the building as a cosmos of worlds both human and natural: the worlds of its past tenants, neighbours and present inhabitants; people and events who come to memory within its walls.

‘To dwell has a sense for me like when you see the water coming up in the river to the surface, and making its current form disappear. “Dwelling” to me has some sort of sense of the welling up of time, and time spent in a place.’ Richard Leplastrier
