Memorable solo by Cesc Gelabert: a choreography on maturity that he danced when resident at the Hebbel-Theatre, a perennial tribute to rationalism turned into dance.
"A vital reflection regarding the tragic sense of life." (Rosli Ayuso, El Mundo)
"Simple and elegant both in movement and the magnificent acting performance." (Carmen del Val, El País)
"An ideal actor for this difficult undertaking. Gelabert follows the tracks of Bohner and once more deploys that magical space that only opens up to the mature dancer who focuses on substance." (Norbert Servos, Stld Deutsche Zeitung)
"Simplicity, clarity and functionality." (Marjolijn Van der Meer, La Vanguardia) |
