"The Polish Dance Theatre - magical moments. The theatre which Demarco announced his private discovery and lavished affection on it. Enthusiastic reviews, critical acclaim, interviews for Scottish television, and promising negotiations of new contracts - all that created a special aura around the Poznań ballet. It must have been the acting element that manifested itself in the austere, Gothic interiors of the Main Theatre Gallery and invited comparison of The Polish Dance Theatre to Pina Bauch's company, which was also present in Edinburgh. Modestly speaking, the Poznań ballet stood comparison. Many spectators returned the next day to relive the emotions and show their admiration to the theatre and give it a standing ovation."

Wycichowska never stops seeking new formal, philosophical and aesthetical solutions. She attaches utmost importance to the versatile development of the company that gave top quality performances during the festival. A dozen or so dancers display amazing ease while tackling their choreographic tasks: the way they move is organically connected to the body and formed by emotions but never accidental. Only dancers who are technically impeccable are capable of such ease of expression. And the artists from the Polish Dance Theatre are such dancers; for them, classical or modern dance technique is only a means and never an end. It is undoubtedly the best dance company in Poland."

"Ewa Wycichowska's performances are meticulously prepared and care is given to every detail. Each of her projects is a quest for new forms of expression for important subjects derived from a broadly defined concept of culture, and at the same time it is a reflection upon the condition of man and his existence in the world. The movements and rhythm of the body express the spirit of our times […] but, what the most important, in Wycichowska's theatre dance is never an empty form, but it is always subject to a certain thought, an incessant process of discovering new spaces, breaking the limits, transgressing stereotypes, habits and standards. Her work is theatre in the full sense of the word and her dancers are also actors."
