«During Dictatorship of Love Sandra Kramerová succeeds in arousing the suggestion of a mass choreography ★★★★

The Love clearly splashes from the motor skills, smiles and proudly raised chins.»

 

Annette Embrechts. Volksrant​

«Kramerová’s dance language is reminiscent of the work of the Hungarian-born choreographer Krisztina de Châtel (79). Suppose they were to join forces: a great ideal to fight for».

 

Annette Embrechts. Volksrant​

«Fascinated by the tension between surrendering to the greater whole and preserving individual freedom, Kramerová goes in search of the beauty and the darkness of mass dance with four professional dancers and a group of ten amateur dancers».

«Amazing how Sandra Kramerová conjures up all those socialist gender roles ★★★★

Her consistent performance in the minimal decor of the solo performance ‘Majka’ is impressive».

 

Annette Embrechts. Voksrant

«In the gripping choreography Majka, Sandra Kramerová goes in search of the ‘ideal’ manifestation of women in 1970s Czechoslovakia. The result is a direct confrontation with universal archetypes».

Jacq Algra. Het Parool

«Thanks to strong body control, timing and articulation, an image of a rather idiosyncratic type gradually emerges».

 

Jacq Algra. Het Parool

«Discipline, perseverance, dedication – Kramerová shows and feels it convincingly».

 

Jacq Algra. Het Parool
