Back is a choreography piece based on the idea of the deconstruction of the events from the rewound one of these And it is that we have ourselves as much customary to that the possibilities and the decisions arise when we advanced that we forgot that when backing down in the time the crossroads and the decisions also exist. The three dancers of this dramatic art in backward movement show through a forceful choreography as the temporary paradox is not only one decision of the observer.
