”Gunnar Møller Pedersen’s glass music creates a timeless transparence to Pontus Sundset’s magnificent dance; a snakelike, earthy lightness in which every body part vibrates.

For the ensemble – women in ice blue, men in warm red – Pahkinen has created exceptionally movable parts with different temperatures and chiselled details in the “hieroglyphs” of the hands.”
      Anna Ångström, Svenska Dagbladet 22/11 2005

”Firmly and determinedly, Pahkinen draws up the guidelines for the evening’s most powerful experience in her characteristic combination of fastidious simplicity and superb gestures towards the cosmos.”
Boel Gerell, Sydsvenskan 24/11 2005
