“The choreography has a strong sense of ‘today‘, away from spectacle, instead original, essential, deliberate, and preciseIt conveys doubt powerfully, displacing the audience through contradictions, doubling up of words, of meanings, and of movements.”
Dance on Screen Film Festival 2022 Jury Statement
“SHE has a fresh take on crossover art [...] It draws us into a disturbing and yet intriguing dimension, where fragile minimalism is saturated with enigmatic expressiveness and where movement in its slightest nuances plays a major role. It is a glimpse into the fragility of the human state in the observant eye of the future.”
