★★★½
"Visually and kinetically, Exquisite Noise is astonishing. The minimalist staging and strong lighting create a sense of exposure, of risk. There’s nowhere to hide."
"The audience and myself go on the same journey and try to understand what [home] means."
Dam Van Huynh is interviewed by Latest TV ahead of the performance of In Realness at Brighton Dome.
"In Realness offers an honest criticism of political bodies and ideologies, expressed in raging queer physicality."
"British Afro-Caribbean singer-dancer Elaine Mitchener doesn’t dance to the music but as it: a possession, an Eastman."
"In reality Dam van Huynh in collaboration with Tommaso Petrolo create a disquieting work of dance/theatre of epic proportions. An extraordinary feat of physical intensity that borders on the operatic."
★★★
"We’re seeing the confusion and exhaustion of exile, voices drowned out, the disquiet of finding yourself, unwanted, in a new land."
★★★★★
"This is a performance which pushes at the boundaries of what dance can be, and there is a thrilling sense of danger in the way the cast (...) allow their bodies to twist and turn with abandon."
"it is simply theatrical anarchism in its most beautiful form."
“Everything about my existence – the fact that I’m speaking through the form of dance and making artwork – is all political because I come from a displacement due to political implications."
