REVIEWS:
Shot in stark black-and-white, The Source uses dance and gesture as a political language. The performers’ bodies become weapons, shields, and memories. A living archive of rebellion handed down through generations.
Emily Chen
It felt powerful and urgent, almost like watching a dream of resistance. Even without words, the emotions were crystal clear, fear, anger, but also hope.
Ella Guidetti
What could have been a simple allegory becomes visceral cinema through its choice of form. The grainy monochrome, the close-ups of sweat and skin, the collective urgency. All these elements root the piece in lived, embodied experience.
Hugo Gessaga
One image will stay with me forever, the young girl standing still in the field, her gaze unwavering. It felt like the embodiment of the next generation inheriting both wounds and strength.
Benjamin Lee
The choreography pulsed with raw physicality. Every stomp, every run, every collapse carried the weight of struggle, but also the resilience to rise again
