x IZVODIIZ KRITIKA ..Dva dela programa... poseduju pozorišnu snagu i übedIjivost. Fizička kontrola je zadivljujuća... Moćna energija... fizikalnost i snaga... izvanredno i dopadljivo... Gospodin Tao ima sposobnost da vas uvuče u svoj ozbiljan, meditativni svet; ako se prepustite, shvatićete da je telo sveto mesto.“ Gia Kourlas, The New York Times „Rad kineskog koreografa Tao Jea istovremeno je visoko konceptualan i uzbudljivo jednostavan... Postoji ogromna snaga u slid tela koja se sinhronizovano kreću, bilo da je reč o otvaranju Olimpijskih igara u Pekingu ill o kamernoj umetnosti kineskog koreografa Tao Jea. I, mada Taov rad predstavlja suštu suprotnost sjaju grandioznog spektakla na Olimpijadi, princip je isti: grupa je snažnija od pojedinca.“ Lindsey Winship, London Evening Standard

X FROM THE REVIEWS “The two pieces on its program... have theatrical force and authority. The athletic control is remarkable... Powerful drive... the physicality and momentum... extraordinary and appealing... Mr. Tao has an ability to draw you inside his austere, meditative world; if you go willingly, you realize that the body is a sacred place.” Gia Kourlas, The New York Times “Chinese choreographer Tao Ye’s work is both high concept and thrillingly simple... There is immense power in the sight of bodies moving in sync, whether that’s on the vast scale of the Beijing Olympics opening ceremony or in the more modestly sized work of Chinese choreographer Tao Ye. Tao’s work couldn’t be more different from the shiny grandiose spectacle of the Olympics but the principle is the same; the group is stronger than the individual.” Lindsey Winship, London Evening Standard
