“The more beautiful is the stage, a happy collection of strange everyday utensils stemming from former times: The old GDR (German Democratic Republic) is everywhere: Hammer and sickle are participating in the dance. A Russian matrioschka looking for her owner, blow up hair drying hoods hopping through the air, flying wigs, somewhere videos of the MIR interior perished long ago are being shown. MIR #3 endurance”, this is the title Constanza Macras gives to the finale of her spaceship-trilogy, which she is now presenting at “Dance in August”. Without any pro-blems we manage to endure, sitting on yellow pillows. 96 minutes are vanishing into thin air. No wonder, MIR is as fast as a rocket; funny, energetic, weightless. With it’s deep humor the choreography evokes memories of Sasha Waltz’s ‘Allee der Kosmonauten.’ Macras is a real discovery.” Berliner Morgenpost, August 2002
