‘Rarely seen anything so impressive and fascinating. Ivgi&Greben brought Le Sacre du Printemps to today. And we thought that the story of the Sacre story was completed and ended in Wuppertal.’
Thomas Molke / OMM
‘Wonderful and so unexpected that for once no woman is sacrificed. Completely of this time.’
Weekly Magazine, 5 *****
‘The Sacre by Ivgi&Greben stands tough next to the famous versions by Pina Bausch or Maurice Béjart.’
Stefan Drajewski , 5 *****
‘It’s been a long time since a performance has touched me like that.’ ‘Ivgi&Greben do not allow the viewer to distance themselves. Their Sacre forces you to find your own way in this story, requiring identification with one of the heroes trapped in this closed world.’
