Press cuts:
“What took place on stage is hard to call dances-it was LIFE itself. Life in all polyphony of its colors. With unbridled desire to live, to breathe in life, to feel that you are alive, that you are here, you exist! And love everything that you feel, accept all your perfect imperfections. Since each of us is unique in his/her own imperfections. And what is imperfection as such, who made it up? It does not exist! There is only feeling of freedom, of love and beauty in all its manifestations”.
