"Dobysh and Bus thus prove themselves once again as the strong professionals they are. Like William Forsythe does with ballet, in AWOL they take the dance techniques they are masters of out of context (performers and creators come from the world of club and street styles). They bend these to their will to shine as abstract 'language'. The austerity in set and music (a very elegant and ominous sound score with lots of silences designed by Boris de Klerk) reinforces this: The movement score is and remains the thread that holds our attention."
