For Jake & Pete’s big Reconciliation Attempt for the Disputes from the Past the brothers Jakob and Pieter Ampe start just from the fact that they are brothers, both born in Burundi, both wearing a beard, both thinning out at the top, both with a lot of good and bad memories from their youth. Pieter has since become dancer and choreographer, while Jakob has become a musician and recently graduated as a voice coach. For this production, the brothers examine each other very closely, like in a mirror. A study which involves extremes as well as subtleties. The dancer discovers his voice, the singer gets to know his body. And over all floats a big sense of absurd humor.
»The whole thing appears to be a spirited and mischievous compilation and a playful choreographic interpretation of all the games the two ever played together during their childhood. It provides drily humorous but moving scenes.« Focus Knack
