ABOUT THE PRODUCTION

15 characters. One locked room. Who can find a way out?

The heroes of the show find themselves in a confined space, from where they try to get out by hook or by crook. Will any of them manage to get free?

REVERSE is a story about a person’s struggle with external circumstances and with his own self. About human lowest and loftiest manifestations that are revealed only in extreme situations, about the hemming and hawing between these opposite sides of a human nature. About the desire to change and recuperate one’s former self. And, in the end, about the cardinal choice that every human being faces at least once in his life.

This action-packed and dynamic show that does not fit into the framework of any existing theatrical genre was created by an international team: directors Andrey Koltsov and Irina Drozhzhina, choreographer Debra Brown (Canada) and lighting designer Joachim Barth (Germany). In REVERSE, the actors blur the boundaries between dramatic and physical theater, choreography and acrobatics. However, falling from a height, flying over the audience, balancing on dynamic poles and other stunts are not only spectacular feats, but means of storytelling and revealing the inner world of the characters.
