“Javier Dzul sent people twisting and turning with remarkable elasticity…they made skillful use of devices that turned them into creatures of the air as well as of the earth.”

-Jack Anderson, The New York Times

“Electrifying…Dzul’s compositions create tumultuous psychological echoes of a socio-cultural past and emotional maps of a possible human future.”

-Suzanne K. Walther, Magazine.Art

“Simply Spectacular…”

- Aharon Sosa Gonzalez, La i

“Javier Dzul has a strong presence…’An Encounter with Picasso’ recalled Martha Graham’s ‘Penitente’ in its conscious use of theatricalized ritual.”

-Jennifer Dunning, The New York Times

“Dzul moves with the undulant muscularity of a jaguar…echoes of Martha Graham’s heroic tableaux are visible in his choreography as are elements of Mayan cosmology…Dzul’s imagery is intricate, epic and profuse.”

-Sparrow, Chronogram

“Dzul finds a vehicle in which to cross boundaries. The voice, often eloquent and sophisticated, tells of a people caught between two worlds.”

- Lori Ortiz, Attitude: The Dancers’ Magazine

“Javier Dzul’s choreography spans time and emotion…his widely varied experiences as a dancer have put a stamp on his choreography and enabled him to develop a vocabulary that fuses different elements into a cohesive expression.”

- Suzanne K. Walther, Attitude: The Dancers’ Magazine

“Mr. Dzul tumbled in a series of flip-flopping falls and ended with his bald head mere inches from the floor. As a death scene this was extremely effective. In the instant of Mr. Dzul’s horrifying submission to gravity, it was easy to imagine that a man could, in fact, die. It was the most honest drama of the evening.”

- Erika Kinetz, The New York Times
