"Lanzino indeed draws from the style and model of physical theatre, working with body language and the placement of bodies on stage to express the nature, motives, thoughts, and even political inclinations of the characters. In short, this thoughtful and captivating show emerges from a synergy between music and stage, deserving and receiving the enthusiastic reception of the full house“
Olyrix
"Surprising, brilliantly staged“
musicologie
“The style of performance is highly physical and based on ‘physical acting,’ that Lecoq-derived movement theater which, in the cultural tradition of the commedia dell’arte, assigns the body the same importance as the text. This approach is realized by all the performers with notable precision and effectiveness.”

„“The Italian director Ilaria Lanzino approaches the work—like so many pieces of its time based on Ariosto’s Orlando furioso—in a dark and serious vein, even if here and there a small wink appears, such as nymphs slipping into pop. While the stage at first still recalls the brightly colored worlds of Achim Freyer, the color gradually recedes, giving way to a cold, technoid world. At the same time, the stage teems with activity, precisely choreographed as rarely seen.”
