‘She [Elisabeth Schilling] brings this music, unique in its artistic language, into dialogue with dance as contiguous forms that grow mutually and alongside each other in astonishing ways, opening up the field of possibilities. Physical commitment and beautiful body poetry emerge both in the ensemble pieces and in the solos or duets, where the performers have their own score and an acute collective attention. Intensive, ambitious research and controlled risk-taking show that dance is an art form with a beautiful aesthetic that can still surprise us and take us further if we know how to dare.’

‘The engagement of the body is powerful and many images emerge through these beings who fall, stagger and sometimes lean on an imaginary line offering a unique poetry. They move to the sound of the piano in symbiosis with a refreshing energy and the strength of the collective is there.’

‘In full light or in a nocturnal atmosphere, the various studies by Ligeti come alive and show all their richness, as does Elisabeth Schilling’s dance with its powerful structure.’

‘We salute the exceptional work of choreographer Elisabeth Schilling and the performance of the five dancers.’
