La Poderosa, July 2004, Barcelona


Midway between a performance and a dance-theatre piece, Eixam overflows with imagination and intelligence both in its content and its form.
In an absolutely captivating performance, both interpreters unfurl an immense generosity through their multiform skills. Masterfully making use of different resources (games with the audience, music, dance, a constantly original narrative, the suspense that runs through the entire story), they lead us along the piece and surprise, move and amuse us every step of the way, appealing to our conscience the whole time.
Eixam is brilliant from beginning to end, without even one moment of weakness. It is a surprising inquiry into the theme of relationships between the individual and the group, oneness and multiplicity, order and chaos.

An acid and at the same time tender view of human relationships to power and the power struggles between humans. Smart, imaginative, generous. Wonderfully performed. I just loved it.

Fantastic. The movement and story are completely integrated. With very few technical means a whole world was created and I was completely transported. I was sucked in, the way you can be drawn into a film. Very special.
- Irene Belza, TV3, Cor de la Ciutat

 


Both funny and moving. Two great characters in the middle of this crazy story. It was exciting how sometimes a very delicate scene would explode into an exuberant movement sequence and slowly you actually began to feel like you were there in the desert with this menacing force surrounding you. How did they do that? Very thought provoking.
- Ivan Edwards, Filhos de Angola

 

What I loved about the dance sequences is that they emerged out of the story itself. And although they were clearly movements, they acted to create the world of the narrative. Through their bodies the insects and then the swarm as a whole were created in a very convincing and delightful way.
