“The sense of the clock always ticking, time always pushing on, never stopping, is perfectly illustrated in the simple, but repeated phrase of circling arms, leaps and reaches that Wind-up finishes with. They made it!“

David Mead, Seeing Dance, 08.2017

“The Watcher is, according to choreographer Václav Kuneš, primarily a celebration of the human body. He considers it the most perfect technology, which we forgot in today's busy lives. The offered party is truly a well-done dynamic thrashing full of excellent dance and music!“
