One of the most respected Austrian dance reviewer Ditta Rudle writes on 'Memoryhouse' in tanzschrift:

What is certain is that Tanz Linz has reached the top of all Austrian dance companies with this choreography and the energy of personal commitment.

Helmut Ploebst writes an excellent review of 'Memoryhouse' for a well known Der Standard:

A 'successful premiere' of 'excellent choreograhy' and 'a real masterpiece by set-designer Gabriela Neubauer'. 'The Linz company has improved even further in quality'.

Andrea Amort in tanznetz acknowledges the choreographic language and Tanz Linz ensemble in 'Memoryhouse' in the latest review of Kuźmiński's work:

Constantly changing image constellations arise, which Maciej Kuźmiński draws with intensive choreographic language. [...] “Memoryhouse” achieves its effect through Tanz Linz’s strong, technically capable ensemble, and creative staging.

In Kronen Zeitung Elisabeth Rathenböck rates 'Memoryhouse' 4,5/5 stars and writes:

'The superbly trained and synchronized together 15-member ensemble explore the origins of dance'. [...] 'explores ways of communicating and feelings in poetic images'

An overall picture of 'Memoryhouse' is drawn in a great review by Barbara Duftschmid for Volksblatt:

The dancers, full of dynamism, strength, concentration and maximum body control, captivate the premiere audience in this deeply demanding production. [...] This is the sixth joint production by Maciej Kuzminski and his dramaturg Paul Bargetto, which the Linz audience celebrates with long-lasting, frenetic applause.

A very positive review of "Memoryhouse" by Karin Schütze at the local newspaper Ost Österreich Nachrichten:

Memoryhouse quickly develops its pull, as if you were yourself washed away in 70 entertaining, intense minutes. in the end there's an enthusiastic applause.

A touching review of Every Minute Motherland has been published on a know German portal tanznetz.de by Torben Ibs.

It is an evening that leaves the emotions on the stage and invites the audience to watch this meditation on mourning. Everything remains incomprehensible and at the same time directly touching.

Helmut Jasny from Westfälische Nachrichten reviws Every Minute Motherland as

The piece, was as oppressive as it was fascinating. (...) Horrific in statement, frighteningly beautiful in artistic execution.

A detailed and in-depth review of Every Minute Motherland by Melanie Suchy appeared on Tanzweb.org

The choreography avoids clear descriptions and drama, but relies on the wisdom of sensitive and multifaceted dance, on the superbly attuned group and the audience's ability to observe and empathize with every minute.

A very sensible review by Justyna Stanisławska on Every Minute Motherland appeared on 20.09 on the country-wide portal taniecpolska.pl .

a multidimensional story about what the war does to the human body and human interior, but also how it affects space and time. […] the viewer takes a journey into the deepest recesses of his sensitivity.

Maciej Kuźmiński dedicates his new performance to the refugee movement. The minimalistic yet powerful dance piece under the title Every Minute Motherland was influenced by the war in Ukraine and developed by the Polish-Ukrainian team, including refugees, who shared their professional and first-hand war experience. The premiere will take place in Gdansk on August, 25 and in Lodz on August, 26, the online screenings are also planned. 

A great review after the premiere of my body falls lighter at Staatstheater Kassel. In an article titled "The play of the time travelers" Kirsten Ammermüller in Hessisch Niedersächsische Allgemeine writes

Kuźmiński uses the most diverse elements of an organic movement language (...) A convincing complete work that appealed to the audience above all emotionally and challenged their senses (...) goes far beyond modern dance theater.

We are thrilled to announce the Premiere of the latest work of Maciej Kuźmiński with Staatstheater Kassel dance company and Orchestra - my body falls lighter. The tickets are on sale!

We are thrilled to announce the return of Maciej's work made for the Polish Dance Theatre - Fabula Rasa. See the work in the new, state of the art headquarter of PDT in Poznań on 1st and 2nd of April. More info in our calendar.

Against the background of patriotically associated music we see a set of motion clichés, which can constitute a satirical image of modern society (not only Polish)

It perfectly accommodated Polish phobias, ills, myths, touched taboos, reaching for unobvious means of expression.

Joanna Sarnecka reviews Plateau for the main on-line dance editorial taniecpolska.pl [eng dancepoland.pl]

a cosmopolitan bigos, deconstructing national symbols, mocking lofty values and great ideals, and at the same time spiced with British humor. […] The performes have no easy task, but they cope well with the demanding scenario – both dance and acting wise.

definitely the most interesting is the statement by Monika Witkowska, addressing an important topic (calling it "feminist" would be another condemnation to the sex ghetto, a universal problem), verbal message enriching with a strong, expressive, consciously non-defective movement.

Już dziś premiera Archipelagu - nowego spektaklu Macieja Kuźmińskiego, pierwszego dla Teatru Tańca Caro, którego twórca objął kierownictwo artystyczne we wrześniu 2016.

"Mój taniec osadzony jest w realiach społeczno-politycznych. Zawsze coś wyraża, nikogo nie wyklucza."

Z początkiem września br. roku Maciej Kuźmiński objął kierownictwo artystyczne Teatru Tańca Caro, mającego siedzibę w Centrum Kultury i Sztuki im. A. Meżeryckiego w Siedlcach.

“Metaphysical elements are expressed through a beautiful, aesthetic movement, making us reflect but without imposing anything. Room 40 definitely belonged to one of the strongest festival presentations - not only among the Polish productions.” – Weronika Łucyk 

“Each part of the diptych could function as an independent whole, being a bodily representation of philosophical considerations. Yet together they successfully form a coherent performance, where the three performers differ enough, to make the repetition intriguing.” – Hanna Raszewska 

"Room 40, however, seems not only a critique of patriarchy, but a metaphysical treatise on the lack of ethicality of art. [...] is also a beautiful story about life, which is permanently marked by the possibility of death" – Alicja Müller 

“stunning, extremely sensual choreography, the most impressive from Polish performances of the Gdańsk Dance Festival 2016” – Łukasz Rudziński 

“Room 40 is a unique performance: challenging our expectations, and perception, yet phenomenally beautiful” – Mirosław Baran 

“Dominique is a powerful socio-political statement, coherent on every level, […] delivered in a layered way, which allows it to be accessible to more than just dance audience.” – Hanna Raszewska 

“Dominique is an example of a excellently constructed critical choreography, which strength lies not in the poetics of shock or excess, but in a smart wit brilliantly performed by Dominik Więcek.” – Alicja Müller 

“A very interresting visual and aesthetic experience, provoking extreme feelings in the audience.” – Monika Żmijewska 

“One of the few solos, that touched on a serious subject – the fragility of identity, and played it with humor.” – Brigitte Jähnigen 

Room 40 “casts the audience a brutal challenge by the image of the body with its raw physicality and organicity” – Hanna Raszewska 

“The whole gives an excellent impression. [..] This work appears as more than just a solo made for a competition

“Certainly the tissue of this performance is beauty coupled with pain” – Barbara Siemaszko 

“In this creation every element – choreography, performance, sense of space and timing – reaches independantly a very high level” – Andrzej Z. Kowalczyk 

“A poetic and moving spectacle, enchanting with light direction and sensual choreography” – Anna Duda 

“The many foreign dance representatives and journalists, who attended the Polish Dance Platform in Lublin, were impressed by Maciej Kuźmiński’s choreography and the rawness of the performance itself.” – Joost Gouziers 

“But it’s the platform finale, Maciej Kuźmiński’s ‘Room 40’, that bridges beauty and concept perfectly, deservedly scooping the audience prize in the awards ceremony afterwards.” – Lucy Ribchester 

“One of the few solos, that touched on a serious subject – the fragility of identity, and played it with humour.” – Agnieszka Dybek 

“A review of the self-performed improvised solo by Rachel Johnson 

Both works reviewed by the local Lublin Courier newspaper's critic Andrzej Z. Kowalczyk
