TIMES OF MALTA on On Reefs and Eroded Lands We Danced
“The nine bravi interpreters, maltese and not, immerse themselves in a very refined habitat... so beautiful is the idea of this voyager, and its elegant design.” Marinella Guatterni
WALL STREET JOURNAL on Voyager
“The final effect is a complex blend of longing and weirdness, lyrical yet never pompous, just like the artistic vision itself that has propelled Mangiola’s journey within ŻfinMalta until now”
TIMES OF MALTA on Geographers of Solitude
“Mangiola elaborates an elegant and visually exceptional work, where the ideas of inspiration are translated into harmonious physical images, constantly dynamic.”
DEL TEATRO on Voyager
'An atomically elegant powerful solo. An emotional aestethic work, tapping right into the core of an important issue.'
STUTTGARTER NACHRICHTEN on Nuclear Romances
'With gorgeous, sinewy, winding tableaux. Mangiola’s movement style, melds the long lines of classical ballet with something more grounded and physical.'
DANCE TABS on Alpha Episodes
'Mangiola succeeded in giving a choreographic overview of the tribal tussles for “alphadom” when three men are enclosed within the same territory.'
LONDON DANCE on Alpha Episodes
'The most interesting use of the body comes from Mangiola in his Alpha Episodes. It’s as much of a showpiece for these statuesque bodies as any classical solo.'
EVENING STANDARD on Alpha Episodes
'An original research of intangible fullness and power contacts between sweet soft, vapourous movements and meetings of touching tenderness.'
FOUR MAGAZINE on WE/PART
'His dance is pure. Vibrant and elegiac elegance.'
IL SOLE 24 ORE on WE/PART
“Grounded naturally and unpretentiously by the dancers who are unconstrained and lithe but rigorous… gods come and go and love makes an appearance through aristophanes’ theory of halves, beautifully and skilfully rendered by the dancers.”
