“Why 37 minutes when 30 would do? The answer is probably that Rafael had so much good music by Nick Wales and Sarah Blasko that he wanted to use it all.”
Deborah Jones, The Australian
“De Novo opens with Bonachela's Emergence, a work in which equal power lies with the music of Sarah Blasko and Nick Wales, the terrific costumes from Dion Lee in his first dance outing, Benjamin Cisterne's super–sleek stage and lighting design, and Bonachela's dancers.”
