“Pérez was by no means the first choreographer to illustrate a couple´s relationship through dance. But rarely anyone managed to show the dynamics, peculiarities and changing power relations between a man and a woman in dance with such nuance and precision down to the smallest detail.”
Alexandra Karabelas, Die Rheinpfalz.
