The efflorescent program Delirium & Destiny explores alternative modes of reason, through a diversity of voices in art, poetry, and philosophy. The opening of the program is marked by the performance Lapsus Kairos (2017) by the poet/musician duo Himali Singh Soin & David Soin Tappeser.

In Lapsus Kairos, H/D speculate upon the potential histories ​and utopian futures ​of the Justus van Effencomplex through twelve micro fictions. Mimicking the structure of the sundial, the compass, the nose, the rose, these allegorical narratives triangulate, breaking down the dialectic by adding an infinite third. The stories are held together the way an hourglass is held together, by a moment of rest, a single strand of synchronicity guided by the centripetal rhythm of the percussionist-timekeeper. Here, you will bathe with Jonathan Swift, you will and will not think like Plato, you will fly into an invisible geodesic dome and find yourself waiting on an infinite lunch break. Choose your own adventure.
