Reviews;
A setting of whole beauty, ‘un tour de magie’, a trip of magic.
LE MONDE – France
All this unfolds to a pulsing electronic soundscape composed by Obermaier himself.
And, boy, is it one spectacle that lives up to the description and pedigree … Apparition is not just a head-trip, but one filled with wonder.
THE BUSINESS TIMES – Singapore
Desiree Kongerod and Robert Tannion’s precise, vigorous performance brought a storm of applause afterward.
THE NEW YORK TIMES
Must be repeated!
At least one has seen a future of the dance in Linz.
DIE PRESSE – Vienna
Yet more unpredictable, unanalysable magic.
THE GUARDIAN – London
It makes for a brilliant spectacle …
SUNDAY TIMES – London
Apparition’s premiere was received enthusiastically, inciting prolonged rapturous applause.
BALLET-DANCE MAGAZINE – London
One hour concentrated watching and enthusiastic applause.
