THE JURY’S VOICE 

"Unlike any other piece, Guide is extremely intelligent, loaded with dynamics and action in its work with optical light illusion. A mystical message concocted of sci-fi technology and hermetic references." - Nina Vangeli

 

REVIEWS

"GUIDE, speaks of a question that we all ask ourselves at some point in our lives:  what would we do differently if we knew then what we know now.  What would we change? In this case, the knowledge comes from a vision of ourselves in the future, guided by someone who is looking back in time. The work is beautifully done, with pristine lighting effects and a magical precision of movement." - Laura Kumin (Director, Certamen Coreográfico de Madrid)

"I thought it was very interesting, I have not seen anything like that before, they were playing with my eyes, which I always enjoy, and it was very inventive. I personally like to see an old body on the stage and I think  this body has a lot of embodied knowledge that is accessible to us almost immediately just by standing there." - Bush Hartshorn
