Review Trouw Dance Opera 'NOW WE ARE EARTH / An Orchestra'

Trouw

“The performers slip seamlessly between song, acting, dance, and live music. Hillary Blake Firestone and Felix Schellekens shine as magnetic standouts.”

“In their physical connection, Beutler’s vision comes alive: transformation and interdependence as the very foundations of community and the survival of our planet.”

“The second act is a showstopper: a scene where audience members ‘spontaneously’ burst into song. Suddenly, a choir surrounds you from every direction — a spellbinding moment of collective harmony, the voices’ unique timbres resonating through your entire body.”
