Jake & Pete’s Big Reconciliation Attempt for the Disputes from the Past

Pieter and Jakob Ampe are brothers, both were born in Burundi, and both have good and bad memories of their youth. Pieter is a dancer and a choreographer, Jakob is a musician and speech therapist, and so the relationship between the voice and movement is at the centre of their joint performance, which grew out of an exchange with Alain Platel. Singing, sitting and shouting, the dancer discovers his voice and the singer gets to know his body better. Moving through a stage set of repeatedly rearranged chests, and repeatedly repositioning their bodies, in Jake & Pete’s Big Reconciliation Attempt for the Disputes from the Past they take the audience with them, with humour, precision and subtlety, into their story of memory and friendship.
