in 2017 the cie. toula limnaios created with the cia. gira dança »die einen, die anderen« (»the ones, the others«) in brazil and berlin. an extraordinary encounter with people with and without disabilities, a lived utopia. against any prejudice, the work impresses with its unique aesthetics, humanity and passion. a surreal diptych of people, moments and places – on stage and in video – timeless and of extreme presence – a picture-rich suction between imagination and reality.
»the visible and invisible, the beautiful and the grotesque form an intimate connection. it is an artistic encounter at eye level, which makes the evening so delightful. in the end there were standing ovations« tagesspiegel/ luzina
»standing ovations for the fourteen dancers, who present themselves as universal with a sensational dance discourse on real and utopian body images on both sides of the atlantic. it turns out to be a complex dance piece that does not trivialize the contradictions in and around us, but searches emotionally for what makes everyone human.« neues deutschland/ schmidt-feister
