CHOREOGRAPHY/DANCE: BÉATRICE JACCARD, PETER SCHELLING, MASSIMO BERTINELLI MUSIC/COMPOSITION: ERNST THOMA, MASSIMO BERTINELLI COSTUMES: CLARISSA HERBST LIGHT DESIGN: ANITA VETTERLI

"...The pathos of regal power, its slow decay, and the fools counterpart, these themes are rooted so deeply in their bodies they don't need insignia to express them. Interwoven with this fantastic world which slowly disintegrates are questions about human relations and the fragile condition of our selves...."

Neue Zürcher Zeitung, Zurich

 

"...They have an awareness that goes far beyond their body. Calm transforms into restlessness, slowness trickles away into stillness. Power is weak, weakness is power..."

Tages-Anzeiger, Zurich

 

"...A brillant Swiss company performing on Dance Theatre Days, Hannover. A glorious virtuoso interplay that was received with thundering applause and enthusiastic cheers..."

Neue Presse, Hannover

 

"...The three dancers are working with a conscious language of form using shifting changes of tempo. Gentleness and brutality, loneliness and being together are woven into patterns of movement..."

Svenska Dagbladet

 

"...One of the most touching moments of the performance is the appearance of Béatrice Jaccard advancing towards the light in a desperate longing and hope, an interminable striving for the unattainable. How refreshing, finally, to see evidence of the joy of living and of dancing..."

Dresdner Neueste Nachrichten, Dresden

 

"...Jaccard/Schelling/Bertinelli's choreography is skillfully composed, their dancing is excellent, you just can't get enough of it..."

Zürichseezeitung, Zurich
