"What you can see here is a clear demonstration of what art is: it provides the necessary space to expand the human mind, that is a human's thoughts and feelings through association. The piece allows for multiple reading levels." Alice Döhmann-Rohwold on Sehr Langsam

Reviews and critical texts. 

This selection of reviews and critical texts offers an overview of Radical Empathy, the artistic platform of choreographer and performer Tomas Danielis, through the critical reception of key works such as Faidrós, Carry, Custom View, 21&Counting, Mainly Love, and others.

Critics consistently emphasize Danielis’s ability to connect contemporary dance, performance, philosophy, and social reflection into coherent and intellectually resonant works that remain accessible both to general audiences and artistic connoisseurs, while maintaining genuine and fresh artistic language strong artistic specificity. His choreography is described as physically demanding, emotionally grounded and precise, combining technical clarity, a distinct performative presence, and conceptual depth.

The works are noted for their engagement with empathy, human vulnerability, power structures, and the social position of the body, often drawing on philosophical texts, sociological contexts, and autobiographical layers. Reviewers highlight Danielis’s capacity to translate complex ideas into a clear and communicative movement language, where dance functions as reflection, dialogue and ethical attention rather than only aesthetic opinion.

Presented across different formats—from solo performances to ensemble works and intermedia productions—Radical Empathy is recognized as an artistically mature, socially relevant, and internationally positioned platform. Its works offer audiences flexible, context-sensitive performances that invite both intellectual engagement and embodied experience in a variety of presentation settings.
