Simple Machines

★★★★★ “It’s a masterful presentation, with Dehaes exhibiting utter commitment to his bit.”
06/02/2024 - QR.co.uk

★★★★☆ But if the future looks anything like the ballet-tight-clad robotics of Simple Machines? Sign us up for the mechanical revolution. Humorous, insightful, and anything but simple – Dehaes illustrates the value of their choreographed work with little issue while entertaining audiences with this truly unique piece of visual theatre and dance.
06/02/2024 - corrblimey.uk

★★★★★ I have never seen anything like this before. Dehaes combines robotics, dance, satire and philosophy and has created a truly unsettling piece of theatre. Perhaps the real monsters are human beings, after all.

You can rely on Edinburgh’s Manipulate festival to give you something you have never seen before. This year, it comes in the form of Simple Machines (★★★★☆), an opening weekend treat by Belgian choreographer Ugo Dehaes.
05/02/2024 - The Guardian

“Simple Machines” is a robotic ballet choreographed by Ugo Dehaes, which replaces human dancers with mechanical ones. This performance is significant for its commentary on cost-cutting trends in businesses and its ability to elicit an enchanting quality despite the non-human performers.

Ugo Dehaes verving zichzelf als choreograaf door artificiële intelligentie en zijn dansers door robots. Stormopkomst heeft de Belgische première van zijn voorstelling Simple machines .
25/09/2021 - Gazet van Antwerpen

Ugo Dehaes zeigt in «Simple Machines» im Prinzip die Entwicklung der Technologie und die Dimensionen, die diese annehmen kann. Was er mit seiner Parodie indirekt – ob gewollt oder ungewollt – zugleich aufzeigt, sind die Gefahren, die ebendiese Entwicklung mit sich bringt: Wir gehen auf Gefühle ein, die in Wirklichkeit gar keine sind, und bauen Beziehungen zu Gegenständen auf, die leblos sind.

"But DMNT sticks close to a recognisable pathology and that means one can imagine oneself with dementia. This is precisely why DMNT should be shown not only in theatres, but also to people who are engaged in this struggle. This sort of recognition could be a great comfort to those who live in such isolation."
16/11/2015 - De Standaard Review

De uitvoering is ingetogen en consciëntieus en vooral de slow motion-momenten zijn prachtig. Daardoor lukt het dit trio een michaamstaal te introduceren die raakt en waar je langzaam aan went, ook al is die voor de meeste toeschouwers volkomen vreemd.
16/02/2016 - Het Parool

"It is as if Dehaes had created a carousel of danced portraits of the brain in which the dancers become increasingly entwined with one another and ultimately move apart again."
18/11/2015 - Knack Review

"Barely touching, the dancers wrap themselves into each other, only to shut themselves into their own arms, and that is of a staggering beauty. And the despair in their eyes turned towards us is stirring."

Grafted duet

Grafted

"As if their heads are taped together - the central axis in this choreography - a fluent, rhythmic play of letting loose and entwining, of carrying and being carried, of attracting and rejecting, unfolds, from which rigorously all pathetic seriousness is filtered."
02/05/2013 - De Morgen

"The best dance performance I've seen in ages. The unusual choreography was powerful and comical, teasing and sweet. Dehaes gave me a sincere and hopeful understanding of the relationship that can exist between two people."
30/05/2014 - www.ongekunsteld.net

"Joy, humour, eroticism, and a sigh in an ironic reference to Women: Dehaes knows how to keep a silent choreography interesting."
02/05/2013 - De Standaard

" **** In Grafted, Dehaes has steered the dancers towards a beautiful, breathtaking result that is moving, overwhelming and memorable. The suppleness with which these artists manoeuvred their bodies elicited a series of shocked cries from the audience. After the performance, the dancers received no fewer than four curtain calls. Bravo!"
02/05/2013 - CJP

"Incredibly beautiful and poignant."
01/05/2013 - De Theaterkrant

"We are told that his new choreography is full of winks to his earlier work, and now again Dehaes would be fatiguing his dancers physically, in order to create a wonderfully sober mix of ballet and acrobatics."
27/04/2013 - De Standaard

Before, Dehaes always drew creatures/objects, which the dancers animated afterwards. "Now I depart from the dancers themselves. I draw their improvised movements and build my choreography on that. My drafts are my scores. I mostly draw while rehearsing."

"The group's togetherness is emphasized by the breaths of the dancers. Without music, it's the only rhythm we can hear. And it's almost hypnotizing the audience."

"This time, Dehaes is working with eight young girls. He's looking into the moment the dancing germ contaminates their young bodies."
30/04/2013 - De Morgen

"Mostly, the girls look all natural and professionally focused on their breathing and steps. And on each other, being a solid unity. Girls is a wonderful portrait of the friendship between girls."
25/04/2013 - NRC Handelsblad

"I think there should be more recycling in the world of dance. I don't see the problem with that. GIRLS is roughly the same performance as WOMEN, but danced by girls. Why shouldn't you let your own creations come to life again? Certainly when you think it could even get better than before."
01/04/2013 - Dans Magazine

"As much as they're trying to shout each other down while eating, as disciplined do they transform into an organic, focused, collective body an hour later. That's what choreographer Ugo Dehaes does to this whole lot of giggling GIRLS: he's creating an ensemble of individuals."
21/02/2013 - De Morgen

"The eight girls carry the choreography and each other perfectly."
21/02/2013 - De Morgen

"Following on from Women, which was selected for the 2011 Theatre Festival, GIRLS (Fabuleus) is a remarkable piece of dance performed by (and not only for) young people that at once raises the bar by a few kilometres. The audacious step of letting young girls dance this incredibly demanding choreography, which renders them taut with concentration as they absolutely dance their socks off, delivers rock-solid dance on a bare stage."
19/02/2013 - KNACK

"GIRLS is an incredibly beautiful experience. The best thing of all is that these inexperienced teenagers manage to succeed where young adult professionals sometimes fall down: on stage, instead of being self-obsessed, they are immersed in the story they want to tell us. And that story is disarmingly beautiful."
18/02/2013 - De Standaard

"GIRLS is a sure-fire hit. With movements that are a detailed symbiosis of breathing and timing, these young girls keep you transfixed for an entire hour. Isn't that wonderful?!"

Il lavoro che c’e’ dietro “Women” e’ mostruoso, lascia senza fiato, e il pubblico non puo’ che plaudire con una standing ovation dal cuore a un’opera che meriterebbe delle repliche a Roma e in tutta Italia. Educativo, pieno, cucito, intenso, magistrale.
17/02/2012 - livecity.it

"Their movements are quite determined and powerful, even empowered by the sounds the women produce. Dehaes is using their breaths as music. The women are taking deep breaths, gasping, groaning. They're like musicians bringing forth their scores."
28/10/2011 - De Volkskrant

"The play is quite cold, yet captivating throughout. The choreography encourages the audience to fit in the bigger whole in its own way. And that seems to work!"
21/10/2011 - Nieuwsblad van Geel

"The spectator sees his own body reflected on stage. The breathing thematised by Dehaes is a powerful way of achieving this. He adroitly makes the dancing body tangible and involuntarily drags the audience along with him. Women is not only beautiful, but also moving. Mission accomplished."
01/10/2011 - rekto:verso

"With Women, Ugo Deheas presents some nice material, with a proper simplicity and a relieved self-relativation. The people on the waiting list who didn't make it, have certainly missed something."

"They're twisting, colliding, rolling, dancing lightly. We rarely see dance being so intimate, yet so adventurous, being unconventional, yet impregnated by a desire that moves every spectator."
20/03/2009 - Leids Dagblad

"It is fascinating to see what kinds of positions, challenges and confrontations are possible between these two people. You could describe it as acrobatic, but the dancers are not actively seeking to create a spectacle. This dance is too personal and too internal for that. There is scarcely any music and that's a good thing."
11/10/2007 - Het Leidsch Dagblad

"Couple-Like is a very successful experiment of Levi and Dehaes. With minimal resources (a bare dance floor and just a few lights), they obtain optimal results."
19/06/2007 - www.theatercentraal.nl

"In Couple-Like, Ugo Dehaes and Keren Levi explore the boundaries of being together. By moving, they initiate a discourse that's navigating between businesslike research and intimacy, between beastliness and humanity."

"As spectator, you're immediately carried away by the absurd images created by their bodies."

"Their non-stop contact is taking many forms. They push and pull, roll and balance, without losing physical contact."
08/03/2007 - www.urbanmag.be

"There's more variation in their movements, and they mix in a more organic manner. Also beautiful to see is the moment when the dancers are thrown onto the scene and they look back in doubt to the audience."
08/03/2007 - www.urbanmag.be

"Couple-like is a strong bit of 'contact improvisation'. Furthermore, it's a pretty piece of artisan, conceptual dance, prosaic and subtle."
