BAKTRUPPEN (1986 - 2011)

(THE REAR GUARD)

Baktruppen consider frank, straightforward and respectful dialogue the best means of communication. Our achievements are the results of a variety of skills, knowledge and personal capacities, as challenges are too complex for any one individual to overcome alone.Trust, loyalty and commitment matter to us, especially as Baktruppen is transitory by nature. These values are key to a sustainable impact of our work, since encounters between us and the audiences are often brief and temporary.

Dialogue, interaction and collaboration are keywords for our productions,based on our own lives and ideas. We leave room for immediate response to ensure and expand the dynamic relevance of our work. Baktruppen constantly explore the communicative aspects of actions and direct performance as we recognize interplay with new audiences as essential factors in a world defined by media through mass culture, industrial adventures and a constant desire for superfluous sensations.
