imPerfect Dancers Company in the press

“When dance overcomes fragility: Empty floor
The six dancers on stage offered to the public a delicate theme, with great skill, also given by the strong contemporary technique, making the show an interesting interlocking of dynamics and movements. Through fluid and rhythmic gestures like uncontrollable tics, the dancers brought on stage the emotions and feelings of anguish, fear, but also love and solidarity. Falls, unbalances, runs, jumps, but also support, hugs and acts of trust towards the other, have helped to underline the nuances and research on the fragility of life.
A show that surely left and awakened in us a great humanitarian and solidarity feeling”.

Uninfonews.it, Marta Sbranti

“...The world premiere of Walter Matteini and Ina Broeckx’s latest creation was greeted with thunderous applause. The imPerfect Dancers Company has magnificently staged the existential struggle between secret egos, sublime poetry, fears and aggressive anger, mounting in a continuous crescendo of alternating emotions, linked by a common thread. Imagination and innovation take full flight in the extraordinary choreography, in which every step and every movement is imbued with the stereotypical image of the Black Swan that dwells within each one of us...”
Eliconie, Maria Luisa Runti

“...One thing is certain: no-one will be immune from the deep emotional involvement generated by this performance. An unusual post-modernist adaptation of Tchaikovsky’s classic ballet Swan Lake. Definitely not to be missed!”
Egg Magazine, Maria Chiara Gori

“...To stage the ‘Diary of Anne Frank’ through the gestures of dance is quite a challenge but imPerfect Dancers Company has pulled it off, offering a performance of deeply felt, heart-wrenching emotion, illustrated through Walter Matteini’s superb, enthralling choreography. The words and thoughts of Anne Frank take shape and form and become intense movements and an interpretation of her haunting and melancholic poetical writings. Moments of cathartic lyricism and sublimation are interrupted by moments of strong dramatic impact, such as the chilling scene with gas masks or the loud barking of a dog. There are memories and emotions flowing between dream and reality, between the desire to live and the realisation that death lurks around every corner...”
Eliconie, Maria Luisa Runti
