3 levels of action meet in this production of the Austrian dance company Pilottanzt. 4 dancers, 1 musician ans 1 visual artist are transforming the stage into a place of non-verbal communication. Pictures arise through different situations and creep along stimulated by the events. Again working with the electronic live-musician ILIEL from sonic research (as in Ïainos one" which recieved the Austrian Dance Award) Pilottanzt once more attempts to fascinate also a younger audience for dance. Via an electronic live-set the musician interacts with the other actors ( dancers and painter). He follows mainly a leit-motif for the single dancers and so lays emphasize on a main line in each sequence. The painter Julian Kreisler contributes on another level, by transfering the stage communication into pictography. Outer and inner forces, invisible for the spectator, act upon spirit and body of the dancers. Humans torne out of their contained situations fall into strongly changing forms.

"The improvised acustic space opens up for the exact choreography and precise light design with great sensibility...the clear concise work is about a world of realtions which have nothing to do with any classic cliché of eros and destruction. Identities flow one into the other, subjects lose themselves in speeding sound-dunes and tenderly woven fabrics of tone. Rituals are written on the air and erased again. ... above the dancers a painting on a movie screen develops which gives the performance a second and summarizing level. "It´s You-Man" shows how free of tension and how ambigous a masterpiece can bewhen its creators are distinct about the subject they are working on."

"The Austrian Dance Award winning ensemble stakes again on the live-beats of the electronic musician ILIEL-ssr ... the painter Julian Kreisler catches the non-verbal communication with paint. ... A conglomerate of growing together body studies."
DER STANDARD

"... behind there simmered a abysmal energy. The multilayered live-sounds of ILIEL-ssr interweave with a movement language wich is full of details and still generous. ... Blaschke, Haring, Loitzenbauer and Madl show strong performative presence while above them on a screen a painting of Julian Kreisler develops.The piece scintillates in the precise light design of Andrea Korosec, but even more by its concise structure."
