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.
- Ali Gonzalez, Escena

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.
- Ali Gonzalez, Escena
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.
- Carlos Mantaneza, Metafora
