“Your mission is the beauty and pleasure of the human body: how fast and how sensual, how delicate and yet strong it can be. A miracle of nature that deserves to be celebrated, especially when you can hardly save yourself from crises. Reconciled with the world again for a dance evening.”

Nicole Strecker, TANZweb.org, 03.2022

“In phases, the whirling bodies of all participants, writhing in daring leaps and turns, seem to defy the laws of gravity. You can only surrender to the visual flood with your mouth open in amazement and let yourself be captivated by what is presented.”

Peter Füssl, Kultur - Zeitschrift für Kultur und Gesellschaft, 06.2017
