Press — Until We Sleep

What the press think...

"A bit like the heroic journeys you see in films. Until we sleep is a reflection on leadership, the ways in which you can fulfill it, and finding the balance between leading a community and also granting it its own responsibility."

NRC, The Netherlands
"impeccably choreographed... the show, from the very first beat, is immense"

Reviews Hub, UK
"It’s reflective of our time, the world is full of troubles and Botis Seva makes some bold choices in how he presents his tightly crafted vision."

Fringe Review, UK
"What the critic from the English Guardian could only think of as "murkily atmospheric" is a sophisticated choreography of the semi-visible, fitting for the night, for sleep, and also for memory, which can be partly conscious, known, and partly dreamed."

Kölner Stadt-Anzeiger, Germany
"Often, the speed at which dancers traverse the stage in parallel seems as quick as the lightening backdrop . These are dancers at the top of their game."

Picture This Post, France
"The artistry – creative, stimulating, thrilling – readily transcends cultural boundaries.”

The Blurb, UK
"Botis Seva, the most influential artist in contemporary dance today, is a phenomenal artist of unlimited emotional intelligence, innovative, demanding and exhausting physicality, but also unparalleled hard work that inspires the modern generations of dancers and choreographers."

The National Herald, Greece
"It’s a charged and intense hour, freighted with myth and mysticism"

The Stage, UK
"To say that the dancers are terrific barely does them justice”

Seeing Dance, UK
"The immensely talented company combined athleticism with fluid movement to create animalistic imagery through angular, almost staccato moves."

Sussex Express, UK
"This feels like a deep dive in the mind of an artist coming info his own"

The Guardian, UK
"Far From The Norm, dancers move as fluidly as water, silky steps that bounce off the stage and into the imaginations of the audience to systemic racism, social deprivation."

Maygan Forbes, UK
