Teresa Sesé, La Vanguardia (Barcelona) 5th May
1994 Senza Tempo is influenced by Pina Bausch, but they
do not simply imitate the German genius, rather, they have achieved,
through hard work and true commitment, their own style, giving
rise to those images of bodies in motion, with a strength and
aesthetic beauty sin par - images loaded with sensations, as
well as an essential disquiet.
