MOVEMENT ON THE EDGE
Everything was endless with a maximum of intensity and a minimum of movement. There cannot be less movement to tell such a complex tragedy without words. Tess de Quincey was so powerful that she needed neither the light changes not the wire of the set for her

A show of strength. … From an opening interlude of such serenity, Tess de Quincey commands absolute attention with that almost imperceptible development of movement that Japan’s ‘butoh’ dance has adapted from Noh Theatre. … While her solo is based on familiar elements of ‘butoh’… she has brought to them a personal sense of artistry.
