DISCLOSE 2008

For the second time Gisela Rocha has been invited to choreograph for the renowned Dutch ballet company Introdans in Arnhem/NL. After her great succes with Paradise ? last season, the new creation will see its premiere 25th January 2008 in Arnhem. And by the end of the same year Gisela Rocha‘s third commissioned work for Introdans will be premiered.

Introdans guarantees mindblowing modern ballet in VUUR&VLAM (BLAZE OF GLORY). For this programme, the Brazilian Gisela Rocha gets her inspiration from the Introdans dancers and creates a sizzling world première specially for the company.

...flexibly-balanced eclectic dance language, exiting lighting Throuw

She really knows how to sweep the dancers along with her; her mix of emotion and vitality is good for them...you feel the imminent emotional release in this dark story, and that it must be an implosion...Rocha is skilled in creating her own world, a place between dreams and nightmares, reality and science fiction.
De Volkskrant

Spectacle with an almost staggering number of scenes... austere narrative ballet... Rocha is highly impressive...
NRC Handelsblad

...crowned by Gisela Rocha‘s Disclose..convinced that Ms. Rocha‘s worl was dramaturgically elaborate; the result of a pensive and fragile balance between intellectual considerations and the more shadowy irrational movements or our spirit... it was a “myriad of impressions”: the dance ranging from the frantic to the placid... one cannot behold such a work and remain unmoved.
Ballet Tanz concerning Disclose

The piece will be shown in 25 cities in holland and belgium with more than 30 performances.
