“Unexpected and remarkable complicity between two forms… different but in perfect harmony”

-Daniel de Montmollin, Brother of Taizé, Potter

An unexpected and remarkable complicity between two forms of artistic expression. Who, familiar with Bartok’s sonata, would have imagined that a mime could accompany it? And yet the gamble paid off: it is as if the music and the language of gesture were made for each other, like two fraternal twins, born together, different but in perfect harmony.

“Deeply emotional and very engaging… a unique merger of two artistic languages into a new kind of unity”

-Nico Galperti, Industrialist, Italy

Deeply emotional and very engaging. It is very clear to me what this is about and how it captures our current times. A man comes to work everyday and does the same thing over and over. What is his purpose? What is he waiting for, living for? And at the end we are presented a glimmer of hope hinting at joy. The music and the movement are inseparable – a unique merger of two artistic languages into a new kind of unity.

“Moving something deeply in my soul... it was an astonishing experience”

-Jean Gheur, High School Principal, Belgium

Seeing your show was a privilege. Before that, I found mime performances rather boring and I did not like the music of Bartók. Actually I loved so much Apocalypse Man! During your performance, I realized that, in fact, you were not just moving in the space of the room, but in my thoughts... moving something deeply in my soul. It was an astonishing experience.
