“Sarmiento’s precise, eloquent gestures channel the juddering distress…Sinews stiffen like rods, hands beat against doors. People fold backwards, poleaxed by distress at grim news. The dancers hold people at the very worst moment of their lives.”
- David Jays for The Guardian ★★★★★
“…that twisting, stabbing movement from choreographer Alexzandra Sarmiento…Sometimes it’s slow and lithe, sometimes fast and rigid, the choreography determined by both the rhythm of the words, every syllable a new movement, and by its content.”
