'Fluid and organic, generous with the public, Mathieu Guilhaumon’s L’Heure Bleue gently, subtlety and ingeniously carries us away'
El Mercurio
'Mathieu Guilhaumon had the interesting and brilliant idea (it cannot be described in any other way) to conceive a refreshing contemporary version of Giselle ... the result is a success, an artistic coup.'
Las Ultimas noticias
'With Noces, Mathieu Guilhaumon runs with great panache the rythm of the piece as well as the great group of dancers from which arise scenic situations that capture the viewer's gaze. The final appearance of the bride and groom is remarkable, clear symbol of their union as a sacrifice.'
Santi Theater & Dance
'Hats Off! is an expressive and energetic fusion of urban and contemporary dance ... Mathieu Guilhaumon invites us to dream and recreates a type of show strongly rooted in the popular imagination, a work that expands the borders of contemporary dance and nurtures it in other ways that enrich its expression.' - Tuiteros cultura
'Hats Off! is a high-calibre production'
Santi Theater & Dance
'Dos veces Bach is a neat and elegant choreography with a touch of humour (...) an experience that moves by its aesthetic virtuosity.'
Vuelan las Plumas
'In Dos veces Bach Mathieu Guilhaumon shows an unparalleled talent to set a piece that highlights music and dance'
