The performance delves into the physical routine of football and elevates the aesthetic aspects of its insanity. It comments the difference between “common sports” and “eloquent arts”, likewise the concept of working-class football and upper-class ballet.
Reviews:
A complete and utter success. I’d see it again in a heartbeat.
The Gazette, Canada
It’s fun, impressive, and might make a football fan out of a dance enthusiast at the same time as it might make a dance enthusiast out of a football fan.
Mooney on Theatre, Toronto
The gags are numerous and irresistible, but the choreographer also masters the art of creating inventive movements and beautiful images.
Le Figaro, France
It’s a cheeky, rumbustious celebration of the physical exuberance of football and dance.
The Times, UK
Behind the slow-motion replays, crotch-scratching rituals and satirical player stereotypes lurks a sophisticated take on a global obsession that says much about the human condition.
The Guardian, UK
A marvel of mood and observation.
The Independent, UK

Background:
Initiated in early 1997, the performance has proven to be the first of its kind. All research on possible earlier dance performances based on football has given no result. Except for a Russian choreographer who made a part-evening ballet in the 1930’s where one of the dancers portrayed a football player. This piece was unfortunately never documented. Apparently it was done with classical technique to classical music.
Our extensive tours with such a simple and clear idea produced a surprising stimulus to the creativity of many others. In the time after our impact both on international audiences and the ever so efficient grapevine, numerous football-dance shows started to pop up around the world. Way to numerous to be a coincidence.
And mostly with a similar choreographic touch. Sparks from those productions probably gave fire again to even more shows and events. We never knew why Andrew Lloyd Webber appeared on the first row at our London premiere with his producers and scribbling in his notebook during the whole show. We understood more when his football musical premiered in September 2000. We of course never invented neither football or dance, but we still wonder why nobody did the combination in the enormous gap between the Russian in the 1930’s and us in 1997. Contemporary dance in that period was supposed to have broken all barriers.
With an increasing amount of football on different stages, we simply decided to close the show down. We risked being copy-cats of ourselves. We did however two co-productions with other companies to fulfill other goals than the artistic ones. SKÅNES DANSETEATER did ”En hyllning til fotbollen” with extensive touring in Sweden specially for young audiences, and TANZENSEMBLE BIELEFELD did ”A Remixed Dance Tribute to Football” to attract new audiences when Germany hosted the World Cup.
12 years after its birth, the show however came back to life again. Due to a never-ending flow of requests and general demand from audiences, it’s has been back on tour from 2009 and on.

Very very nice hotel !! The reception is grand with a fantastic roof painting !! The main lobby fountain was always a highlight for photo taking. Fountain lights keep changing though the day. There is a foodcourt on the 5th floor with decent choices of food. It was much cheaper to eat here than at the restaurants. This hotel is well connected and most importantly sheltered to, The Londoner , Venetian and Four Season hotel !! You can venture to these hotels even though it is raining heavily outside. Venetian have a great food court too.

Night view

M90***40

To Macau, be sure to climb the Macau Tower! From a distance, it is like a shining city lighthouse, standing on the skyline. After buying a ticket to the tower, the high-speed elevator quickly sent me to the viewing floor. Standing on the panoramic view platform, Macau&#39;s cityscape and sea view have a panoramic view, modern architecture and historical relics are contrasting, and the beauty is unbelievable. There are also various exciting extreme projects, such as the famous bungee jumping. Watching the challengers jump down, the screams cut through the sky, and the blood boiled just by watching. Even if you don&#39;t challenge the limit, strolling on the tower to enjoy the beautiful scenery and feel the breeze, it is an unforgettable experience. It is definitely a punching point that cannot be missed during the trip to Macau.

My family and I have been to Macau in April 2023. To be honest, this is a place where you can come and come again. The most obvious feature here is the convergence of East and West cultures, which fully reflects the creation of the people. We are also quite satisfied with the arrangement of Trip.com Although some unexpected problems have occurred, they have also been solved in time under the coordination of customer service staff.

The Venetian

The Venetian Macao Resort is a place that makes people linger. It perfectly reproduces the style of Venice, with arch bridges, canals and cobblestone roads full of exotic style. Walking through it, the artificial skylight above simulates the blue sky and white clouds, and the day and night change, just like being in the real streets of Venice. The Grand Canal Shopping Center is full of brands and has an excellent shopping experience. The luxury suites are spacious and comfortable, with all the facilities. There are also wonderful performances, rich food, and exciting entertainment. Take a gondola and listen to the boatman&#39;s singing through the canal, and the romantic atmosphere is full. Whether it is a date between lovers, a family trip or a gathering of friends, the Venetian Macao Resort can provide the ultimate holiday enjoyment. It is a dream place that must be checked in when visiting Macau.

Sands Macau, including The Londoner Macau, The Parisian Macau, and The Venetian Macau. It&#39;s really big. You&#39;ll get lost if you walk around inside. I&#39;ve tried Crystal Jade Ramen and Xiaolongbao at The Parisian Restaurant. It&#39;s pretty good.
