recent reviews "This is the dilemma of
modern people, at which Wieland takes aim. Better,
preciser, more exact than ever before." Wieland has created
wonderful dances - notably long, virtuosic solos...."
"One finally reads, 'We are
all liars.' This is such a Wieland-Moment for which at
the end, there is prolonged applause." "Wieland examines events
that throb with covert passion and violence - cleansing,
dissecting, and re-stitching them together as deftly as
a surgeon wielding scalpel and needle." "With it, we see breathtaking artistic interludes by
performers and Lillian Stillwell introduces us to the
philosophy of the stiletto with appropriately wicked
movements. A number of further scenes show the playfully
relaxed thinking of the choreographer and at the same
time his high demand on artistic perfection." "Traces of home, traces
of dance, securing of traces - the audience applauds
wildly on this surprising theatre night." "A man with a
distinctive and individual choreographic language." "....the company, as well as the
audience, perfectly understand Wieland’s unpretentious
language." "This choreographer is fearless-
funny and intelligent." "Johannes Wieland’s world is not
a simple one nor an ideal one." "Johannes Wieland has created a masterpiece with his
debut at Staatstheater Kassel." "With two moving pieces,
Johannes Wieland makes his vibrant debut at
Staatstheater Kassel." "Mr. Wieland has a keen eye and a commitment to his vision" "Is television expanding our horizons? Johannes Wieland thinks not. The message of his disturbing and seductive progressive coma is that the images replayed over and over in the media not only dumb us down, they numb our brains and render us unable to distinguish between reality and fiction." "There are agile, handsome dancers; a clever use of video; and lots of sexy and provocative and mysterious incidents." |
