“Fifty-two minutes of beauty....The emotion left in the auditorium was palpable”
Giornale Di Brescia (Italy)
“Dedicated to sentimental relationships that the two dancers interpreted masterfully."
Sara Polotti (Italy)
“There is a tenderness to it all, as they lift each other, showcasing a degree of care, and almost but not quite embracing... One might even describe it as heavenly”
I am deeply impressed. Some performances moved me to tears, so I couldn't even start recording a video snippet. My hands were shaking from the overwhelming emotions. And this from a typically very skeptical and not very emotional person. Pure love & Admiration. I liked absolutely everything!
