"Just by Simone Valastro was the most successful of the three miniatures... His chamber opus to music by David Lang fit the Bolshoi dancers perfectly. Five humans investigate the subtleties of love against the background of buzzing propellers symbolising an industrial disaster. It is clear that Tinder and quarantine makes it especially fragile yet the vulnerability of the best of feelings does not lead to its extinction. That’s what the artists spoke about in those tender trios splitting into solos and duos. Simone Valastro seemingly invented nothing spectacular yet his concept, harmony and way of implementation with all art’s revolt against constraints made him the leader of the night.”

"Worldly love, so different — idyllic and unrequited, simple and all-consuming — was presented by five soloists of the Bolshoi [in the ballet by Simone Valastro Just.] Exquisite and sensitive duos (Anastasia Stashkevich and Vyacheslav Lopatin, Maria Vinogradova and Igor Tsvirko) are preceded by the painfully bitter solo of a lonely heroine by Olga Smirnova."

"Un’altra serata di teatro e danza di straordinarie qualità, nella stagione virtuale (ma virtuosissima) dell’Opera di Roma."

"Un’incredibile opera di live art, in perenne stato performativo, che non rimanda ad una solida narrazione ma fa da medium tra la nostra attualità, fatta di sentimenti incerti e confusi, e l’urgenza di esprimerla attraverso l’arte."
