"Meanwhile Sam Zaldivar's Tadzio is as definitively right as Bjorn Andresen waa in the film: whether doing slow pirouettes or whirling no-hands cartwheels, he possesses a more perfect line than any young dancer-gymnast has a right to. Kim Brandstrup's choreography is a delight: even something as simple-seeming as three small girls running in irregular formation across a beach is both precisely choreographed and made to look carelessly natural. A flawless evening." The Independent
"Kim Brandstrup’s varied choreography, which centres on Sam Zaldivar’s enigmatic Tadzio and gives the scenes on the beach their energy, in integral to the fluency of the whole conception." Martin Kettle, The Guardian
