Anarchistas (2005)-Download Complete Press kit
"The masterpiece of the evening is however the longest piece 'Anarchistas' of Gabriella Maiorino…A long, exciting and very promising dance piece." JACOB HAAGSMA, Dansclick tour, Leeuwarder courier, November 06, Holland
“….In this choreography it is very refined the use of spotlights, decor and music/sounded…The grown still (litteral) and intimate moments in this choreography and the relation with the violent and expressive movements of the dancers individually and as a group, make this piece stunning from beginning to end.” Cultuurpodium, October 06, dansclick tour, Holland
“Gabriella Maiorino (Italy) opens strongly with a skilfully made ballet: Anarchistas, for four dancers and a dj. At a compelling beat, which never get boring, the dancers freeze in a pose one after the other…. What is fascinating in ANARCHISTAS is the right balance between speed and rests, seriousness and playfulness. Maiorino marked up the most “dansant” and finally also the most fascinating choreography.” de SPITS, juli 05, Fresh dance, Julidans festival, Amsterdam
“..It is clever how the dilemma of opposite needs gradually also becomes tangible within this almost mathematical concept.” Volkskrant, juli 07, fresh dance, julidans festival, amsterdam
ZOO (2006-08) -Download Complete Press kit
“The only piece with its own strong personality is ZOO from Gabriella Maiorino. An intriguing work that makes me want to see the next production from the choreographer.” Ingrid van Frankenhuyzen / NRC Handelblad 16 april 2007 (Voorjaarsontwaken, Korzo)
“Zoo shifted from circus to abattoir, via hospital, club and bedroom on the way, exploring the mucky relationship between man and beast… With vivid satire elevating the more commonplace shock value of its nudity and dark sexuality, Zoo merits a wider audience.” Lucy Ribchester , January 07, Aerowaves, the Place Theatre, London
“…But the standing ovation was for ZOO and the five performers of the Italian, Dutch based choreographer Gabriella Maiorino; four legs and naked, back and forward, they created a cinematographic, feral and mounting rhythm, underlined by the beautiful lights, low and swinging” Claudia Allasia, “LA REPUBBLICA”, 13-5-06 (TORINODANZA)
“A work with very strong power, extremely critical, that wants to provoke in the audience the worst feelings” Jorge Martinez, June 08 Festival Punto Aparte, Murcia, Spain
Prayers (2008)- Download Complete Press kit
''Outstanding duet of Maiorino with musician Giacomini''
''Gabriella Maiorino, a talent of Danswerkplaats Amsterdam, lets herself go to the maximum in Prayers, animpressive duet with musician Giacomini, which throws his guitar, electronics and voice in to the game. Maiorino lays in a spot of light, her muscles extend and shake like a young, awaking bird. (…) Her body seems driven by uncontrolled physical impulses set by the music. She waves and spins and never stops moving (…)'' Volkskrant (Annette Embrechts en Mirjam van der Linden)
