MY MACHINE IS POWERED BY CLOCKS, the latest piece from SIGHTLINE, considers a time when time travel has become a relatively common thing, when a future can be seen and a past can be changed. As with any kind of new technology, there are potential pitfalls and abuses. Like pieces in a game of Jenga, everything is stacked up on top of everything. You move something from the bottom; the top pieces collapse. You can escape your own time and context, but you may lose focus. You may even forget who you are.

SIGHTLINE (theater co) , has presented work at Ars Nova, soloNOVA/New Ohio Theatre, Dixon Place, Figment, Culture Project, the Living Theatre, HERE, Theater for the New City, and the Gene Frankel Theater. We are a company of collaborators, and the thread that connects all of our projects is our emphasis on developing work that features the skills and talents of our ever-changing line-up of writers/performers/designers and that emphasizes the social, intellectual, and aesthetic issues we find most compelling in the modern world. Our work is originally-devised, science-themed, and socially-minded. Our material comes to us from many places, our subject matter seeks to innovate form, and our voice reinvents itself from project to project.
