Zürcher Theater Spektakel

In 1996 they won the very first ZKB Patronage Prize with «Movin’ a Perhaps». Fifteen years on, they return to the festival and prove that they have lost none of their verve, choreographic inventiveness and perfection of movement. On the contrary. For an hour they crawl, scramble, hover, dance, skip and stumble across the stage in what seems to be an endless stream of people. They are incessantly on the move, either singly, in pairs or in groups. Are there thirty of them? Fifty? A hundred? And where on earth are they going? With «Sideways Rain» the choreographer Guilherme Botelho and Compagnie Alias deliver a masterpiece full of hypnotic power and beauty. Perfect! (esc)
