”… voluptuously polyglot choreography.”  The New York Times

”Gutsy. Wild. Smart. Original.”  Dance Magazine
   
The pack dominates their show business. Smiling like vampires, the vaudeville exhibitionists serve artistic formations. But their revue gets out of hand. Inspired by an installation of Chinese-born artist Cai Guo-Qiang, who had a pack of stuffed wolves jump against a pane of glass, young US choreographer Andrea Miller deals with the mechanisms of human herds. In Wonderland, permanently new orders appear – one who was previously equal to the others is now the leader. Or a loser. Or a member of the pack.      
     
With her most recent work – a European premiere – Andrea Miller is a guest in Germany for the first time. The New Yorker with a Spanish-Jewish background danced with the Israeli Compagnie Batsheva and in 2006 founded the group Gallim Dance. With her idiosyncratic mixture of ballet, burlesque and gaga, she was soon regarded as a shooting star by Dance Magazine.
