Carlos Pons Guerra
“He is going to need a bigger theatre. For the moment Carlos Pons Guerra’s creations for DeNada Dance Theatre make their home in pocket-sized venues… Enough for a cast of six, perhaps, but this is a dancemaker with very big ideas, who knows how to flood a stage with dazzling imagery and innovative movement.”
Financial Times
“In the six years since he founded DeNada Dance Theatre, Carlos Pons Guerra has achieved an enviable reputation as a choreographer. His work combines lacerating social comment with outrageous showmanship. It’s witty, it’s penetrating, and it’s personal.” The Observer
“There is nothing like Pons Guerra’s work elsewhere on the British stage”
Dance Europe
"Choreographer Carlos Pons Guerra may be early in his career, but he's arrived with a fully formed sense of artistic identity. His Spanish heritage, steeped in Catholicism, cured ham and songs of the 1950s, collides with explorations of sexuality, gender and copious carnal pleasure. It's a hugely atmospheric recipe."
London Evening Standard
"Pons Guerra is a choreographer of innate intelligence and theatricality, driven instinctively to goad and stimulate the audience."
Dance Europe
“The dance world is becoming increasingly aware of the talent of choreographer Carlos Pons Guerra. Daring, audacious, sublimely and riotously funny, he has found a style and dancers to match.”
The Stage
“His dance pieces have a genetic line that embraces the era of the Weimar Republic, early Fellini and Lindsay Kemp at his disciplined best…His personal philosophy embraces radical ideas, courageous standpoints and most of all, it is slyly and wickedly subversive.”
