Reckless Sleepers explore the collision of time & space in Binary Opposition at Lowry

A world premiere coming to Lowry next week will see the acclaimed Reckless Sleepers company creatively toy with the fundamental concept of binary opposites.

In Binary Opposition, two identical rooms, set out on stage by an imposing wooden structure, see parallel scenarios unfold as the company draws from two decades’ worth of performance work, pulling parts of different shows together to create this bold, unique mash-up.

In one room, performers face the crowd head-on; in the other, backs are kept to the audience throughout. In one room, it may be snowing, while the sun beats down in the other. Across the spaces, Reckless Sleepers explore entrances and exits, mistaken identities, and the collision of time and space.

With over 20 years of source material to delve into, there is an endless myriad of scenarios that could potentially play out. The performance has evolved further through workshops with children and young people, both in the UK and Europe.

Reckless Sleepers: Binary Opposition comes to Lowry Tue 7 Oct – Wed 8 Oct. Tickets are on sale now. Grab yours using the button below.
