Xiexin Dance Theatre - Press reviews

After a six-week tour in Europe, during which they travelled through Spain, Switzerland, France and Germany, the Chinese company Xiexin Dance Theatre will finish in Germany with the European premiere of T.I.M.E. on April 4th in Darmstadt.

After that, they will go back to China, having made their mark. From IN was a great success in all the venues where it was presented.

Involved in the tour, the press praised the company in various articles:

 

“The dancers push the boundaries of flexibility, creating movements that do not seem humanly possible. (…) There is something very different about the performance of Xie Xin and her dancers. (…) Xin chooses a simple concept and executes the choreography brilliantly.”

Sarita RAO, Luxembourg Times

 

Xiexin Dance Theatre, excellence from China (…) A beautiful, fragile and graceful dance performance.

Michel Schroeder, Seitung vum Lëtzebuerger Vollek

“An elegant and poetic dance that explores the question of encounter. (…) To see these bodies dancing together with such grace and intensity is overwhelming.

Sortir La Provence

 

“Phantasmagoria, poetry, borrowings from hip hop and classical dance, abstract music, new rhythms, new games for the bodies of his exceptional dancers, costumes as fluid as the water of the sea: Xie Xin defies time, space and all conformism. (…) The poetry of this enigmatic creation will be draped in peace and elegance, far from the fury of the world.

René Galvez, Le Dauphiné libéré

 

From In is a very challenging work. Different in content and form, it shares many new and welcome concerns with the audience. It forces you to actively participate in the performance, which makes it a breathtaking adventure.”
