“Juanjo Arques, a former company soloist made a strong statement with the only premiere of the evening, Rewind. The subtlety and depth of the relationship showed his debt to van Manen – not at all a bad thing – especially when delivered in Arques distinctive post-modern style. It was a stylish and distinctive work from a choreographer who is fast making his mark on the international scene ”
