“…touched on both camp and absurdism”
“They keep showing, in different ways, how a couple may be intimate and separate.”
“It would be good to see them moving more often…”
By Megan Woods, audience member of Joyce SoHo season 2009
Thank you for such a memorable concert this weekend. I was strongly affectly by the richness of each piece, as the colors, mood, dynamic, and pattern transported the audience with performers to a specific realm of new sensations. Images of intricate partnering, rhythmical phrasing, and sincere expressions remain imprinted in my mind. It was such a pleasure to see a piece unravel that knew so much about itself; never did I question a choice in direction or performance. I feel grateful to have experienced work that has been thought over so carefully, and am inspired by your talents and visions.

“I loved it very much. I loved that they have a sense of humor. It is not very frequent. More than anything, it is a pure scourge, but I love it, I love that they handle great deal of theatricality with humor”.

“Moving irony to the human body”
“They pursue, they sniff, they reject, reconcile, they harmonize their bodies and they join to create an absurdity and theatrical limitation … The same as reality?”
“Under the premises of absurdity, unreality and dream, the stories were framed in dialogues and repetitive scenes.”
“… industrial concept that creates dictated robotic movements to electronic beats, and transformed later to a social drama which manufactures subsidiary citizens.”
By Olga Gutiérrez, director of the Encuentro Internacional Nuevos Creadores a Escena
“They handle many emotions. In Contemporary dance, the themes of the pain are touched, and of happiness, but never of irony, of humor, of playfulness, of drama, or of perversity. It is not very often that you see works of dance that touch all these themes.”
By Tom Phillips, danceviewtimes
“… danced with passion…invisibly connected as they double their movements in separate space, then dynamically linked as they come together”
