Two actors with history come together to revisit a past production. This leads to nostalgia, pain and the longing to turn back the clocks. The lines between then and now get blurred. As do the lines between performance and reality. But after all this time, they realize that the one thing that is never enough is time.

About the Original Playwright and Production:
Amir Reza Koohestani is an Iranian playwright and theatre director. After studying film and pursuing a brief career as a performer, in 2001 Koohestani wrote Dance On Glasses, which put him on the international stage as it toured internationally for four years. In Timeloss, Koohestani returns to his play Dance On Glasses, but this time, the actors have come together a decade later to record the dialogues for a DVD version of the earlier play. As such, Koohestani transforms Dance On Glasses into an object, a pretext for looking back. Thus, Timeloss becomes a play about self-denial by rejecting the past rather than regretting it.
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 achingly powerful and content-wise touching examination of his own story, in which the different levels of reality and play are virtuously intertwined.
