“On this a few handfuls of confetti” (…) Love in capital letters — nothing more, nothing less: “LOVE” is what the choreographic duo Verena Billinger and Sebastian Schulz call their latest, undeniably magnificent evening (…). Choreographically, the piece goes all in (…). Billinger and Schulz quote familiar musical theatre material, assembling it into their own original numbers, which gain additional verve through the close proximity of the dancers (…). One can take great pleasure in this evening, while also finding it thought-provoking (…), and perhaps one should simply take this love as it is. Frankfurter Rundschau

The most audacious way of telling a story about love:” With LOVE (…), choreographers Billinger & Schulz take on the musical (…). Their dancers, who have worked together with them for many years (…), give everything that a contemporary quintet can appropriate from the vocabulary of the musical. Clenched fists, soaring leaps, and swaying hips are all concentrated on conveying emotion. In the process, it becomes unmistakably clear that the characteristic Broadway sequences of show dance and tap have their roots in classical dance — a tradition to which Billinger & Schulz repeatedly return, without, unlike others, getting caught in the simplistic myth that “ballet is torture. Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung

“Stiffness gives way to grace and bliss” (…). This way of revisiting these familiar works is enjoyable because, over time, it develops depth (…). Just as, in a first encounter, it is impossible to foresee that a mere hint of sympathy might one day grow into something much greater. Frankfurter Neue Presse
