Old geezers and whippersnappers, dodderers and teenagers, old and decrepit versus naïve and agile: When dealing with age, prejudice is rife. Yet generations are separated by more then just their age – they have a different outlook on life, different ways of living and a different education and of course different perspectives. What happens when the old meet the young on stage, body meets body and elderly bones meet buoyant limbs, experience of life meets hunger for life? 21 people meet in «Vorgestern ist Übermorgen» varying in age and dance experience – humourous, thoughtful and poetic. This project was awarded with the Silberbär 2013 (Pro Senectute) « With the award money the organisation recognizes the successful endeavour of bringing different generations together to actively realize a shared idea.» Newspaper Der Bund, 13th of April 2013
