"Cracks" - 2 dances and 3 letters on fearing to love.
Review
“Each detail here is well thought through and purely controlled - one realizes only in a while. She rages and cries from songs about love and in the final offers such a passage of a dying swan <..> that one gets stunned. <..>
Sadness and humor in one and all of it without any overdoing.”
Vaidas Jauniškis for his facebook platform
“Cracks speaks about the philosophical meaning of love and how a young mind looks for answers to the secrets of life. The piece offers a complexity of diverse views seen at once. By doing so it challenges each audience member to choose one’s own angle to experience this work.”
Ernestas Zubavičius for Newspaper Kauno Diena
“Cracks freezes the audience’s attention by the performer that has mastered to perform honesty and naivety. <..> “Cracks” goes beyond a cry or a cliche.”
Aistė Šivytė for dance.lt
“Šmitaitė <..> tends to analyze complex topics. It was, therefore, unexpected to find her talking about the simplest, ordinary love. On the other hand.. What could be more complex than that?”
