The Zero Hour

The Zero Hour : Imitating The Dog

Framed as film that is being directed by a famous Chinese film director and crew, The
Zero Hour fuses live action with pre-recorded film, animation, and computer generated imagery to create a world where human relations are determined to be at the
heart of historical events.

Disturbing and romantic in turn The Zero Hour is shot through with the obsessions (sex, babies, death, WW2 and time travel) that are the hallmarks of ITD’s narrative inventions to date.

Initially beginning life as a small scale touring company ITD has, since 2004, toured to venues that include West Yorkshire Playhouse, Warwick Arts Centre, The Lowry, Theatre Royal, Winchester, the Northcotte Theatre, Exeter, Mayfest, Bristol, Theatre Royal, York. One of the central aims of it is to create outstanding work that bridges the gap between small and middle scale touring in terms of design, technical and thematic ambition and also to bring innovative performance practice to new audiences and to audiences more used to mainstream theatre.
