"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."

"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."

"Joy, humour, eroticism, and a sigh in an ironic reference to Women: Dehaes knows how to keep a silent choreography interesting."

" **** 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!"

"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."

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."
