conceptual line of dance, combining the most consistent tradition with the freest vanguard,<br />
emotion with mathematical rigour, humour with tenderness.<br />
In a theatre which has grown used to seeing the newest, most innovative proposals, the public –<br />
who have filled the house every night – have been fascinated by the originality and daring of an<br />
aesthetic proposition which does away with all convention, showing that a quartet made up of an<br />
experimental dancer, a deep, profound singer, a contemporary pianist and a clapping Jack-of –alltrades<br />
is not only possible but is in fact highly desirable. La Curva’s blend of popular music,<br />
classical music, and dance has caused upheaval in the peaceful Swiss town so well-placed in the<br />
world of Dance thanks to figures such as Maurice Bejart, Sergei Diaghilev, Serge Lifar and so many<br />
more. (...).<br />

<strong>Israel</strong> <strong>Galván</strong> breaks the schemes of the dance in a continuous gestural sublimation that extracts<br />
the essence of flamenco from a corporal unexpected development and a deep creativity. Nobody<br />
can remain indifferent before his art, <strong>Israel</strong> is different, is incomparable.<br />
(Ramón Rodó Sellés, LA VANGUARDIA, 05/07/2010)<br />
Known as an avant-garde force in Spain, Mr. <strong>Galván</strong> is postmodern by typical flamenco standards.<br />
He strips flamenco of its histrionic showbiz status.<br />
He is seductive without trying to be, and if this is what new flamenco means, bring it on.<br />
(Gia Kourlas, THE NEW YORK TIMES, 19/06/2008)<br />
<strong>Israel</strong> <strong>Galván</strong> treats flamenco dance with the audacity of a lover. He destroys the gesture, moving<br />
as a bird, he leaves walking. Sometimes he flies.<br />
<strong>Israel</strong> <strong>Galván</strong> offers himself the luxury of irony. His own body is not flamenco: it turns into<br />
flamenco.<br />
He helps us to understand, to live and to think the ignorance of the future. In the perfection of<br />
rhythm and time that can be heard because we can see them.<br />
(Francis Marmande, LE MONDE, 10/05/2007)<br />
He does not deserve less than to be compared with Picasso, Nijinsky or Escudero. Since he has<br />
found in fragmentation, deconstruction, deformation of lines, and in the use of internal and<br />
external stimuli, the transmission channel of such a complicated thing. The intelligence to describe<br />
the whole mystery of this feast of death: art and money, beauty and sacrifice, barbarity and label.<br />
His circumstances and his emotional temperature. I finally understand what can’t be explained.<br />
