Reviews Extracts
" Eidolon is a playful, aesthetic and poetic series of beautiful images solidly rooted in a contemporary physical language"
Ann Jonsson, Danstidningen
"The evenings most complete piece of narrative with two dancers in a searching and emotional duet"
Lisbeth Vasiljev, KulturNaut
"The only flesh and blood woman in the piece is Alba Nadal who is the perfect feminine reflection of Alban Lendorf - both inquisitive in their tentative and testing steps. Here the two dancers like yin and yang merge into one in the embrace of the final image. Very beautiful !"
Majbritt Hjelmsbo, Weekendavisen
" 'M/K Danseuer Noble'-programme also ends with a positive surprise: Kim Brandstrup's Eidolon which is much more interesting and complete than the womans version. The men's movements simply fills the room."
Vibeke Wern, Berlingske Tidende
