The go plastic company explores nostalgia as a state of the present and embarks on a choreographic journey through collective memories. 3 - 2 - 1 - Play, Rewind, and Forward. Into the futures we once dreamed of.

“TUNE BACK (time)” moves through memories and longings – through things that were, and those that may never have existed. “Do you remember? Back when we…” A sentence sets things in motion. Six performers traverse a landscape of loops, glitches, sound fragments, and visual remnants. Movements recur, shift, lose their direction, and become unfamiliar the moment they return. Like a song that suddenly comes back, even though you had long since forgotten it. Instead of a linear narrative, a sequence of images, movements, and moods unfolds – much like memory itself: fragmentary, erratic, surprising.

What if the past isn’t behind us, but walks alongside us step by step? Pop culture meets personal stories; digital visual worlds meet bodies that remember. The result is a play on recognition – and on what the future might one day be. “TUNE BACK (time)” is a journey through the in-between: through images that linger even as they fade, and through futures we once envisioned. This performance invites you to let yourself drift – between the rewind button and the urge to move forward, between memory and possibility.

Physical Introduction

One hour before the performances of “TUNE BACK (time)” on Friday and Saturday, a Physical Introduction will take place. This is a physical warm-up for the piece, during which participants interactively try out elements from “TUNE BACK (time)” in a simplified form, experience them for themselves, and thus gain a deeper connection to the subsequent performance. The session is open to anyone interested. No prior experience is necessary.
