Motherland, The Place London
The Observer, 18 November 2012
There's a sequence in Vincent Dance Theatre's Motherland that's repeated at intervals throughout the two-hour piece.

Life is a messy business, starting, as Charlotte Vincent does in Motherland, with periods. Aurora Lubos, elegantly dressed in black evening wear and high heels walks on to the bare, white stage with a bottle of red wine.
