Hans van Manen's "Kammerballet"

 
The masterfulness of Kammerballett lies not only in Hans van Manen's totally functional use of theatre and the language of movement, but especially in the great eloquence and lyricism he achieves in using them. Not a single gesture is wasted, and the complete naturalness and clarity of what we see leaves a deep impression. Known as the 'Mondriaan of dance', with Kammerballett he appears 'a Mozart among choreographers'. The dancing in Kammerballett has such a powerful and distinct line that it sets the piano pieces, by Karajev, Cage, and Scarlatti - with almost 250 years of music history between them - completely naturally and harmoniously next to each other. By Martin Bijkerk ('Rotterdams Dagblad', September 1995)
