Dutch press praises LOVETRAIN2020

21 March 2025

LOVETRAIN2020 has impressed audiences worldwide since its launch, with international acclaim from prestigious media including The New York Times, The Guardian and other leading critics. It also won the award for 'Best Dance Performance of Season 20-21' in France. After its international success, LOVETRAIN2020 is now receiving rave reviews from the Dutch press.

 

"A monument of hope, full of energy, like a march."

"Emanuel Gat Dance turns it into a monument of hope, as euphoric as it is moving. Not least thanks to the diverse cast of 14 dancers [...] whom you get to know and love as you go along."

"Like looking at a painting by Velazquez or Caravaggio."

"Freedom and joy give 'Lovetrain2020' an irresistible charm."

"[...] the way the dancers always strikingly seek contact with the audience is moving and reminiscent of the longing for each other, for togetherness. Understandably, French critics have declared Lovetrain2020 the best of the season."
