Reviews:
“Camilla Isola, aka RAE, unraveled bolero in a performance-investigation of the bolero rhythm through intimate gestures, schemes and expressions. Τhe title-wordplay unveils the choreographer’s intentions clearly and effectively. One by one, bodies joined together creating a full rhythmical yet lyrical orchestra like the instruments do in Ravel’s Boléro. The powerful human element was always present and hugged the well-structured performance. Isola drew forms on stage connecting with Vigeland’s sculptures in terms of humanity and approach” – Asteropi Tia Chatzinikola
