Reversed Piece
Many a thing around us becomes defined, categorised, and therefore, levelled. Absolute truths are propagated, contexts oversimplified. Reversed Piece confronts this pabulum by giving it much space and time for diversity, looking for the absurd in apparent logic. A world is born on stage which the audience does not, at first, understand. Peculiar, but interesting. Intuitively comprehensible, yet still strange. Actions transpire in reverse and fall off the train. Two dancers search for the missing logic, go astray in reversal, while discovering the magic of leaving behind habitual patterns. Between dance, sound worlds and object interactions, new creatures and worlds full of undefinable variety unfold. Does volatility and immeasurability even need a name and category? Are two people on stage really only two, or are they many?
