12 minimal waltzes, bodies turning intertwined,
heads dizzy from spinning, the pure delight of dance
From Will Tura to Christophe via Simon & Garfunkel and The Velvet Underground for a superb “I’m sticking with you” where their two bodies literally support each other, the duo explores all the facets of this dance for two, this “old-fashioned pleasure”, and in doing so find a new youthfulness. It contains lightness and humour that in no way preclude what is truly a physical undertaking.
Le Soir – 04/10/04 - JM Wynants
Asserted minimalism, brevity and a sequence of figures like a similar number of vignettes confer a freshness on “12 Easy Waltzes” that does nothing to erase the exhilarated feeling of a whirlwind.
