“The chiaroscuro of Raphael, Michelangelo and Caravaggio in Rob Halliday’s lighting. The fleeting allusion to human flight. The ordered chaos of the modern city.

“Spotlights play occasionally across the audience. We can see ourselves reflected in the gigantic mirror at the back of the set making us aware that we too, with all our inadequacies and inelegance, are part of this human story.

“During the rest of the show, cleverly constructed mirrors at the back of the stage combine with Rob Halliday’s excellent lighting to create multiple images of the dancers, moving through a spectrum of colours and sometimes seeming to float in space. Striking and superbly executed.”

“How this came to be a work of dance performance is one of those rare miracles of creativity that you close your eyes and give thanks to the God you don’t believe in. Creative partnerships have long fascinated me, and when they come together to produce a work such as this, coming from such diverse strands of creativity… it’s just kind of really amazing.”

- Australian Stage (Melbourne)
