PRESS QUOTES
“A masterful ballet of death.
Between ritual and theatricality, the choreographer achieves a great and most beautiful spectacle.”
Le Monde
“With powerful dance moves, ghostly lighting, a soundtrack alternating between masses for the dead, metal music and words by Gilles Deleuze, the choreographer’s new creation explores death in a total and hypnotic spectacle.”
Télérama
“So we move forward into these Requiem(s) with our eyes overwhelmed. Needs to be seen. Really.”
La Figaro magazine
“The superb opening seems to find a crescendo rhythm, like a crazed heart.
The choreographer excels in his exquisitely precise group dances.”
