Cie. Willi Dorner
"The deep thematization of complex issues and the search for concentrated performative presentation concepts is a concern of Willi Dorner that has already been made visible in many of his works shown around the world." (Tanz.at)
"Dorner (56) is one of the most internationally active dance professionals in Austria." (Der Standard)
