In 99 Duos, Jean-Claude Gallotta mixes couples of all ages, both anonymous amateurs and professional dancers, to disclose with touching freshness 99 ways of exalting love and evading solitude. Gallotta is a master of subtlety and his spirit of observation, his imagination, his love of others, forge this 75 minute choreography and reveal how dance bursts forth from everyday life, from a hug, from a hand that searches another.
»Perhaps as the song at the end says ›there is no happy love‹, but there is a lot of happiness to be had in seeing 99 Duos by Jean-Claude Gallotta«. Marie-Christine Vernay in Libération, Mai 2002
