LIGHTING Alastair West

Capturing that bittersweet emotion. A state of longing, poignancy, a piercing joy as well as an acute awareness of passing time. It recognises the light and dark, it’s a quiet force that transforms our pain and connects us together. 

“It is a beautifully bittersweet piece of drama told solely through flowing choreography in which everything looks effortless and natural. It really does feel like you are watching very ordinary, very real people. Nostalgia is yet more evidence of Quagebeur’s talent. It’s no wonder she’s in demand at home and abroad.” Seeing Dance - David Mead 

“What’s refreshing about Quagebeur’s piece Nostalgia, is it’s ordinaries. It’s one of the more perceptive depictions of a realistic relationship I’ve seen on a ballet stage.'“ The Guardian Lyndsey Winship
