A magnificent experience that reveals the most beautiful work of art. Ever. In my entire life.

The Independent calls it “A heady mix of grace, beauty and bravado”, while The Guardian says it is “yet another programme of fabulous tricks and stunts, wrapped up in yet another quasi-metaphysical storyline”. But in the end it is pure dream, cause no one from the audience could tell if what happens on the scene is real or not.

The show’s name “Quidam” is a Latin word meaning an anonymous passerby. What else could be more magical than a solitary heart in search for her own wonder land? The new Alice? or Dorothee? Maybe a return to Oz could be so delightfully dangerous as the acrobatic movement on the stage.

In the most impressive fantasy of shadows, a woman entwines her body on a crimson silk way above the ground as if she could vanish in thin air, her metamorphosis carefully suggested by her several moments of deathly silence into the gasps of the audience.

A sheerly act of beauty trapped in my mind for eternity.

Even after a week and a day, the memory of last Tuesday’s performance from Royal Albert Hall still remains clear in front of my eyes. A show that should not be missed.
