| about | ||
| "FATA MORGANA" |
||
|
"Spectaculare acrobatics about the beginning of
the world. ... The acrobats swim like fish, crawl like lobsters with incredible movements of their bodies
and then turn out to be another generation of little creatures with - again - very characteristic peculiarities
and special effects. ... Many other humorous scenes follow ... The whole performance through you get fantastic
acrobatics." (HAARLEMS DAGBLAD (NL) |
"Mirages full of fantastic creatures.
... Seldom a ballet will move your imagination like this one...
The artists perform daredevil acrobatics. Of course, you can see this also in the circus, but never in such a fantastic
choreografic setting. ... an outstanding performance for young and old alike." (DE GELDERLANDER (NL) |

"Volcano spits five acrobatic dancers. ... Skillfull and supple they tumble over each other. They somersault from the crater. ... They make the most unlikely movements possible." (CURA‚AO NEWSPAPER) |

| about | ||
| "ONDERAARDSEN" | ||
|
"The tight leather suits hug their bodies like a
second skin. They have to, given the risky nature of the climbing, flying and balancing...
At the center of it all is the Brazilian Marley Eltz, a slender female who effortlessly stands on shoulders
and hangs upside down from ladders and poles. The combinations are at times suggestive, and often
technically clever... " "Corpus makes exeptionally energetic
movement theatre: acrobats to a man, the performers tumble over each other, stand on each others shoulders,
and turn somersaults in the air. The members of Corpus use their bodies to create fascinating creatures,
twisting themselves into jointy-legged insects, while their acrobatic turns provide for
the beautiful scenes... " "En prenant des risques inouïs et
non sans humour avec un travail technique d'une fabuleuse
précision et une manière originale de plier l'espace à leur imagination,
les "Corpus" ont offert au Festival un spectacle fascinant." "Verschiedenen Richtungen des modernen
Tanzes wechseln sich ab mit akrobatischen Kunststücken,
die man aus der Sportakrobatik oder Zirkus kennt." "Corpus is absolutly the most interesting,
newest and most professional company ever shown in the history of the Arkhangelsk theatre festival." |

| "EEN ANDER OOG" | ||
|
"At times acrobatic, at times dancing, and at
times just plain wild the three performers tumble over each other. You get the feeling that this piece
couldn't have been presented any other way."
(UTRECHTS NIEUWSBLAD (NL) "... they work hard and their costumes and make up are stunning." (NRC-HANDELSBLAD (NL) "The group brings a high technical quality to its performance." (From comment on the Nominations, HANS SNOEK PRIZE 1992) ![]() |
