»anderland« is another small marvel in which toula limnaios succeeds in combining an almost too sober view of what is, a sceptical existentialism with all its tragedy and seriousness, with dream images full of poetry.
rbb kulturradio, frank schmid

»anderland« is the brighter side of a diptych about airiness in gravity and the unbearable lightness of being. A choreographic essay on the pursuit of happiness and the veil of melancholy. It challenges the sensation and perception of time, the desire for rootedness and yet again the volatility of life in front of them.

toula limnaios never stages crude facts, but rather the nervous intensity of existence’s inner strife. the images she uses are always kept open enough to allow one to discover both personal tragedies in them, as well as general social criticism. pausing in the moment and yet hovering in time. seven performers glide through delicately sculpted scenes as if chasing shadows – near and far – familiar and yet foreign. »anderland« drifts through a beautiful and wistful echo of a moment and shimmers as a fictive place, an intimate frontier, melancholy beauty, eerie occurrence and tender elegy.
