By turns goofy, sexy and poignant, BLOW ME DOWN messes with 3 dimensions and the 4th wall - or is it the 5th? Danced by two delicious movers who are decades apart in age, channeling Popeye, pop culture, post-modernism and the Pieta.

REVIEWS:

No words needed. Stripes, tutu, and bodies told everything.

Kollros Ferraris

The mash-up of Popeye, pop culture and post-modern dance was hilarious and profound

Samantha Davis

Two bodies, two generations, same rhythm... so playful and touching!

Francisco Gonzalez Martinez

Goofy, wild, magica !!

Anthony Okuma

It broke the fourth wall and winked at me. I swear I felt part of it...

Simone Bueno Morcillo

Mixing slapstick with tenderness through movement - That’s bold choreography

A Acosta

Loved how it toyed with space and time, felt like a live cartoon collapsing into performance art.

Daniel Sanchez Fernandez

At first I laughed, then I got emotional, didn’t expect that swing!
