DPARADISE ? 2006
Arnhem/NL
comissioned by Introdans

Gisela Rocha‘s production for the Dutch ballet company Introdans saw its premiere within the programme «Different Dimensions» in Arnhem/NL in March 2006 – and became a big success. Paradise ? toured the Netherlands for three months and was also presented during the Introdans «End of Season Gala».

A miracle takes place in Paradise ?. The piece is crammed with cacophonies of dance and music, is full to bursting with contrasts, teems with different styles and nonetheless presents a puzzling unity and unfathomable logic which keeps the hypnotised audience watching breathlessly right until the last movement.
