“Merce Cunningham’s dances can induce love at first sight.”

–Dance Magazine 2002


“On a une immense sensation de liberté, jubilatoire. Véritable ballet contemporain, on plonge dans le spectacle comme dans un roman qui ne dit rien d'autre que la danse et l'élégance obstinée de son auteur.”

–Libération, 18 nov 1999


“Here is a choreographer whose genius… is internationally recognized and honored. Even if one knows nothing about the underlying principles of his works, those works testify – through their purity, originality and complexity – to the integrity of a seminal giant in the field.”

–The New York Times, 1999


“There is no dance company today in which style and technique are more ideally fused. No company of dancers today is composed of more individually attractive (or attractively individual) people. And no company today has such consistently superb choreography.”

–Financial Times, 1999


“Merce Cunningham reinvented dance, and then waited for the audience... The elegance, simplicity, and force of his work are unique - and undeniable... he has taught us something new and powerful about how to dance and how to live, and about the diversity of art in America.”

–Mikhail Baryshnikov


“When one's body is young, dance looks pretty, but when one's body is wise, dance looks beautiful.”

–Rudolf Nureyev on Merce Cunningham
