Press Reviews

…all the three moments in the premiere at the Odeon had exceptional casts (as all the previous performances), because Razvan Mazilu starts from the idea – perfectly motivated – that the dance nights of the cycle he created must bring on the scene “la crème de la crème”. A proof for the fact that he has managed to keep up with his high level is the success of his new premiere and the audience’s interest for the other performances of Odeon theatre, the only theatre that had the initiative to host other shows outside current dramatic repertory.

Anca Florea – Curentul, March 2003

As if its creators had deliberately desired this, the second episode of the serial “Dance at the Odeon” illustrates the three fundamental hypostases of the ballet, according to what he wants to communicate to the spectator: the abstract beauty of the rythmic choreography (Palladio), the subtle fantasy of the corporal expression inspired by poetry (Revelation) or the parable that can be translated into words (The maiden and the death).
