Press:

 “… Wonderful dancers… The movement materials burst out mercilessly, far beyond any consideration of the human body’s physical limitations. They are cruel and painful, and are remarkably refined and stylized.” (Ruth Eshel, Haaretz)

“Iris Erez created an excellent work, original and moving, and her co-creaters…all of them are part of this success.

This personal portrait can be perceived also as a social portrait, as a deep image of a painful society, torturing and tortured. “ (Gabi Eldor, Dancetalk online)

The piece brings out the curiousity to see more from the amazing erez both as a choreographer and dancer.” (Gitit Ginat, Achbar Hair online)

“There is a certain courage in Erez work and an attempt to express an interesting idea in a tangible way.” (Zvi Goren, Habama online)
