In Old Time FFWD Baktruppen takes use of simple technological aids. Baktruppen has placed a long table in the middle of the room and laid out props from former productions with food and drinks.

While video documentation from former production was shown, the artists stood in line against the wall watching what happened while cutting their hair and shaving their legs. This way Baktruppen aimed to break boundaries for what is appropriate in the public room.

In displaying the inner life of Baktruppen Old Time FFWD became something of a meta-performance.
