"Emanuel Gat delivers a master piece, SUNNY, echoing Marvin Gaye's song around which
Awir Leon builds in live the musical unfolding of the piece. Gat stayes loyal to his way. Beyond
the dance itself ,which evolves freely to the point of virtuosity, its a piece tainted by the
relations created between the dancers. Stretches of silence, costumes, games, piercing looks
and bursts of laughter create a world overflowing with youth and cheerfulness."
Ariane Bevalier - Le Figaro

"SUNNY by Emanuel Gat is a blast of pleasurs. Gat is one of the rare artists of the moment
who puts forward a notion or research. His writing is a continuous flux of of new sensations.
Together with Awir Leon on stage, SUNNY offers some of the most beautiful sequences of
the season. The richness of composition, the inteligence of of changing moods and colors,
renders SUNNY a choreographic miracle."
Philippe Noisette - Les Echos
