”Yanci convinces with the magic of the true artist and persuades with the reality of the man who has his feet firmly planted on the ground. Yanci teased with a wicked sense of humor…He was like a magician able to cue into a whole range of different characters. He made everything live through his bodily athleticism.” The Stage and television Today, London, England ”New directions are always welcome and Yanci, making his London debut, has a refreshingly creative approach. He was brilliantly concise in the item ”Man and Machine”...a cleverly macabre scene of a craftsman and his robot. The illusion was perfectly timed and expressed and the development admirably planned. ”The Minotaur” revealed him to have the magnetic quality that can give power to simple images.” The Daily Telegraph, London, England ”Impressive. Yanci brings power and admirable versatility to the representation of characters.” Morning Star, London, England ”It is a beautiful piece of theater. Work of this caliber is of world class. ”The Minotaur” is a refreshingly original treatment in which the bull-like figure is suggested by a mask worn on top of the head. With superb concentration, Yanci slips from the Minotaur to the warrior Theseus to the three Fates who preside over the combat” The Guardian, London, England ”For two glorious hours, the lithe body transported an eager audience into a totally different world – their own – but from a perspective they never knew existed. They laughed until they cried as they recognized the little idiosyncrasies of people that he brought out…But Yanci did not always play the clown. In a piece titled ”Life Cycle”, he touched on life´s routine and seeming aimlessness. It was so beautifully done it had one in awe. Words cannot describe Yanci’s work and give it justice. It was an experience not to be missed”. Business Times, Singapore ”The first night audience was so won over by Yanci that they refused to let him go. Could you blame the audience? So swiftly had he communicated in the seamless language of movement that two hours had passed in an instant. At the end, the audience agreed unconditionally to make a date for another time, another place.” The Straight Times, Singapore ”Besides being a skilled craftsman, Yanci is an entertainer with a down to earth approach, which comes out in his simple spoken introduction to each piece and the care with which he establishes a story line.” South China Morning Post, Hong Kong ”It was an evening of visual delights and imagination stretching…Yanci is a superb athlete and is able to make his body do seemingly impossible things... His first segment was a comic wonder...Yanci amused and amazed his audience. He shows us joy and sorrow and many, many emotions in between.” Santa Barbara News Press, Santa Barbara, California ”Yanci shoulders all degrees of the clown profession. He is an actor showing an enormous wealth of ideas who can make his audience laugh or shock them. With impressive ease and a dazzling gracefulness he performs movements symbolizing objects or places. These gestures illustrate different stories which are comical, and, at other times, tragic in character. A number of mythological figures were brilliantly given life by Yanci – the pantomime clown.” Esti Hirlap, Budapest, Hungary ”Perfect pantomime is the key-word in this show about people. Yanci creates a total illusion. His art is so realistic and universal that only the greatest pantomime masters are able to achieve such stupendous technique…Yanci’s main trade mark is the lightening quick ability to change characters…one times one person suddenly equals three.” Kurier, Vienna Austria ”The highlight of the Movement Theater Festival were the performances of Yanci. Yanci masters physical flexibility so well that he is able to confront different genres or styles with each piece…Within this frame he achieves a forcefulness of expression and a strong projection of his imagination which makes him one of the most diversely talented masters of his art.” Salzburger Volkszeitung, Salzburg, Austria ”Every pantomime king has something personal and unique in his body language, a special feature of expression which only he himself can persuasively project. With Yanci, these characteristics are in every one of his movements. The little finger gestures nuances in a meaningful way the forceful language of amazement, anger and fury, that of jovial insidious certitude, and finally the astonishment expressed by his face and body.” Salzburger Tagblatt, Salzburg, Austria ”Humor, a broad spectrum of expression and an astonishing physical control are main elements of his act. No matter what or whom he enacts, Yanci makes it a perfect illusion.” Tagblatt, Linz, Austria ”It was really uncommon what the silent man showed his excitedly moved audience. With his strong personality, his artistic richness of ideas, his irresistible magnetism and his perfect handling of the body he inevitably attracts everyone into his circle. The numbers are full of situation comedy that live from the fight of man against the tricks of the objects and entertain brilliantly. But above that one can sense insights and the whole isn’t merely slapstick comedy but a critical voice addressed to society and to the single person who is acting in it.” Dolomiten, Bozen, Italy ”Yanci is in all probability the most significant pantomime artist of his generation within the international scene. Total and refined, Yanci retained a specific way of humor and brought about freeing laughter throughout the entire house. His language of gesture and the nuances of expressions are not only clearly distinct but also go into detail, and at no point slide off into mere cliches or pale gags…Thunderous applause and: come back soon!” General Anzeiger, Bonn, Germany ”His great body art shows the ‘catastrophes’ of humanity.” Hamburger Rundschau, Hamburg, Germany ”His scenes are profoundly humorous, poetic and creative. They transform the everyday life into body language and moving pictures that reflect the depth of human sensitivity.” Stadt Zeitung, Cologne, Germany Schlagzeilen auf deutsch
