La chorégraphie luxembourgeoise SAHASA fascine le SAL Theater.

Personne n'a jamais porté le Boléro de Ravel sur scène d'une manière aussi sensuelle et glaçante.

Par Le Land / Anina Valle Thiele

SAHASA..magie urbaine.

Par Le Lëtzebuerger Land / Godefroy Gordet

Poétique, puissant, drôle, comme personne, c’est étonnant de justesse. Mime, pantomime, danseuse magnifique, actrice, elle est tout à la fois. Elle nous embarque dans un vertige d’émotions, de sensations. La terre, la vie, la musique.

The Hidden Garden , un gros coup de coeur

Par La Provence / Patrick Denis

It is the choreographer herself who interprets this very convincing, committed and virulent solo: she is masked by a bouquet of plastic flowers on the ground of an artificial lawn of a striking raw green: A square space for a soloist with a powerful body, which recounts the trance of a woman struggling with a hostile and insecure environment. The dance is rough, the body firm and definitive, the visions follow one another while the bouquet flies wasteland: music in tune with this bursting which unfolds in a cocooning, under the carpet, the image of a moving and striking effect of science fiction!

Par L’amuse danse / Geneviève Charras

JINJEON.. À mi-chemin de la performance, il y a un segment merveilleux qui est l'incarnation de l'humain. La chorégraphie semble tellement détachée de tout ce qui est mécanique que l'on ne ressent que de l'énergie humaine pure et brute… Le passage de l'humain à la machine a été très bien exécuté à chaque fois qu'il a été observé. Malgré les concepts opposés, la progression était non seulement parfaitement organique, mais aussi très esthétique. La focalisation sur l'évolution aurait pu facilement conduire le chorégraphe à sacrifier la beauté, mais ce piège a été magistralement évité.

Jill Crovisier, a brilliant and prolific artist

William Cardoso puts on roller skates to execute the bribes of a Ravel Bolero, it's strong, precise and almost perfect.

Jill Crovisier’s South African premiere of Zement, the solo was a most intriguing solo performance…The instant changes back and forth between popping like movements to those smooth as jelly and military style attention mixed in was unique in its combination. The performance quality was outstanding. 

Par Dance retrospect / Klaus Warschkow

Crovisier’s work is already impressively distinct. In ”The Hidden Garden,” Crovisier focuses on the question of what happens to our accessing of our imaginative minds as we grow up as a starting point for her work. Introducing us to a sharply lit square patch of grass, our own little garden marked very clearly as both an abstract and real space which allows our minds to enter, from the beginning, a type of virtuality. We are introduced to a strange creature who shuffles across the stage with a bouquet of flowers for a head, before revealing his face and natural human form. Such a surreal start demands already that we fuse real and unreal images as our first point of order, moving our attention to the ”regular” form of the human body and its movements not as a given, but as something that comes subsequently. As such, Crovisier opens our minds from the outset into what things could be, look like, and do.

Par TanzRaum Berlin / Sasha Amaya

Guaranteed magic effect. So many faces, ambiances of situations, which in a flash dissolve. In this constant zapping, Jill sort of Alice in Wonderland sails through the sandstone of universes: rough, absurd, light.

Par cccdanse / Anna Chirescu

Zement, the solo is very impressive, thoughtful and consistent.

Par Gdanski Fetiwal Tanca Poland / Miroslawa Barana

The Hidden Garden offers an original and captivating exploration of the conflict between our deepest aspirations and the expectations of normative society. She manages to juggle different expressive registers without losing coherence. Her gestural creativity, nourished by the influences of the different countries where she worked, is served by an excellent interpretation. Finally, the scenography, music and lights combine skillfully to create, with a minimum of resources and in 40 minutes, a strong emotional impact.

MATKA, a poetic invitation to travel

Par La Glaneuse / Marie-Laure Rolland

MATKA is a dance piece full of poetry and joy that arouses wonderment for the youngest audience. Highly acclaimed, MATKA allowed the public to take part in a story like no other : a journey through varied universes where dance, music and circus are intimately linked.

Par Luxembourger Wort / Mireille Petitgenet

Nothing could be further from artistic movement. Zement, the solo is the name of the piece by Jill Crovisier from Luxembourg - a purist solo on Bach music - and a candidate for one of the most sought-after awards in the international dance world.

Par Neue Presse Hannover / Henning Queren 

SIEBEN, her first major work, which brings together seven remarkable dancers, is promising .. It is interesting to note that the way Jill Crovisier built SIEBEN is itself extremely mastered. With SIEBEN, Jill Crovisier succeeds the transition to the top speed in a carrier already well launched.

Par La Glaneuse / Marie-Laure Rolland

Some of the many strong moments of the piece are also characterized by a certain comedy and one or the other oppressive moment .. Whether there is a Bausch-moment in SIEBEN and how powerful a human swarm dances, is definitely worth finding out for yourself.

Par Lëtzebuerger Journal / Sophia Schülke 

A contemporary aesthetic with expressionist accents .... Seven wonderful dancers..SIEBEN gives life to beautiful images highlighted by music, subtle and expressive play of light and the alternation of slow and fast gestures, jerky movements and fluids, evoking both the strength and fragility of the body, between convulsions and sways, between rupture and continuity ... Precise and synchronised gestures to make the collective live.

Par Le Jeudi / Karin Sitarz

SIEBEN is a powerful choreography that shakes as much as it touches. And Jill Crovisier, who caused a sensation on the dance scene in Luxembourg 2016 with her play The Hidden Garden ..., seems to have an exciting journey as choreographer and video artist ahead.
