Reversed Piece (AT) seeks the essence of things and the absurdity of the seemingly logical. Actions run backwards and fall off track. New beings and worlds unfold between displaced bodies and things. The separate stories of the two performers tell of a sometimes desperate search, of lost logic. While monstrous distortions turn out to be harmless objects, inconspicuous niches of the stage surprise as co-players. The negotiation about the attribution of meanings is opened. But it turns out that the indefinable does not need a name and meets us unexpectedly familiar. And in this way, what is offstage can groove into a communal rhythm. Are two dancers on stage only two or are they many?

Reversed Piece (AT) moves between dance, sound collages and interaction with objects. Two performers stumble over their feet and jumpers, get lost in reversals and discover the magic of leaving familiar patterns behind.

Reversed Piece (AT) is a production by performing:group in co-production with tanzhaus nrw, Comedia Theater, Theater der Jungen Welt Leipzig and Theater FELD.
