Reviews and prizes

REVIEWS

• • Cienfuegos’s work, workmanship in its most complete sense…  (Clarín, Buenos Aires)

• • Divine proportion, perfection… and as a result a unanimous ovation.
    Choreographic excellence, clean technique and a personal vocabulary with which to defy space… (Málaga Hoy)

• • Choreographic ode to a universal mind.
    … a demanding and thorough exercise of bodily exploration, with surprising moments and excellent results,… (La Nueva España – Asturias)

• • … Yoshua Cienfuegos sets on a search for the philosopher’s stone of choreography, and manages to build a golden spectacle. (Diario Vasco).

• • … in the choreography, of immense beauty, they build a universe almost cinematographic, emphasised by music and light. (Denmark. Terpsichore).

• • Yoshua Cienfuegos leaves aside the proper lyricism of contemporary dance to fine-tune it and generate a subversive language where poetic beauty rests in the anatomy of the body. Eventually, one leaves the theatre realising that dance is not designed to be understood but to be admired. (Modernicola – Málaga)

• • … Yoshua Cienfuegos brings a proposal filled with strength and very suggestive… Plasticity is the common denominator of the choreographies… (Asturias)

• … Yoshua Cienfuegos demonstrates with this show that experience is a plus… (D de danza)
