Do aging artists still matter? The pure performance, intense collaboration, and acrobatic mastery make any doubt about the answer to that question completely unnecessary.

The acrobatic tricks are excellent. They are higher and riskier than expected, and the six acrobats, especially the two ladies, are enviably agile. Furthermore, Glorious Bodies is captivating and touching, thoughtfully designed, and very strongly choreographed.

The standing ovation and the minutes-long applause testify the beauty and power of the performance that touched the spectators of all ages.

I was deeply moved. Here we see people who don't give up, but who no longer have to hide how hard work this is for them. You feel the admiration that the choreographer has for his performers and notice how intensely they enjoy that performance.

The four men and two women play with pleasure and pride what their then-perfect bodies have transformed into, and how it can evoke admiration and wonder. They continue to play, they continue to enjoy their performance. For an hour, they were able to shine, virtuosic and also fragile.

Beautiful, strong, proud people are standing on this stage. They instantly make me a little less afraid of growing older.
