Amir Reza Koohestani, Kammerspiele, Mehr Theatre - Timeloss, 2013 eng

With his production “Timeloss“, director and author Amir Reza Koohestani ties in with a play which made him to one of the most important voices in contemporary Iranian theatre: In “Dance on Glasses“ a real couple sat opposite each other at a four-meter-long table and spoke an intimate dialogue written by Koohestani about the end of a relationship – in a way that was irritatingly open minded for Iranian society. 13 years later Koohestani constructed a fictional situation: the couple from back then reunited on stage tries to synchronize the video recording of the first performance. But the two no longer hit their own notes, and the scene develops into a reflection on their relationship. With “Timeloss“ Amir Reza Koohestani creates an actingly powerful and content-wise touching examination of his own story, in which the different levels of reality and play are virtuously intertwined. Created in 2001 in Shiraz, Iran
