In the piece also considered as the company’s cornerstone, three worlds meet and collide: yesterday, today and tomorrow cling to one another. In the background of familiar present and dawning tomorrow, there lurks an archaic and mythological world that actually carries the values of the past. The performance may as well be called a fictive time travel where the initial disjunction suddenly unfolds into the coexistence of all three planes and we no longer roam about in only one or the other.
“… In his study entitled Postdramatic Body Images, Hans-Thies Lehmann writes that the power-body (meaning body as a medium that conveys power and energy) is the only thing that “becomes the final seemingly ’certain’ truth” in the new (postdramatic) theatre, and especially in dance. He also cites examples and mentions Einer Schleef, Wim Vandekeybus and the physical toughness of La La La Human Steps, in the light of what Éva Duda’s choreography appears so unusually suggestive and authentic, since it liberates and activates this primary human essence and raw force through the dancers’ personal motivations.” Critical review by Csaba Králl
’The stage radiates with incredible power: the space waves while time passes by the rythm. Viewers get some – forty-eight minute long – insight into the ’eternity’ of their bodily existance and the utterly intimate, direct and spontaneous joy and pleasure of presence’ - Critical review by Sándor Hegedűs, Zene, Zene, Tánc
