YACI - International Young Art Criticism

“Her wordless song is characterized by her enchanting voice.
 Her voice remains close to me as she is disappearing."

 

GO CLARA GO! - Dokumentarfilm 2025

FILM RESZENSIONEN

”The story of the group Clara Mosch is one of creative resistance. Archival footage, interviews with the members who are still alive today, and performances by the dancer Anna Weißenfels come together to create a striking portrait of this unconventional and powerful scene.” (translated from German)

 

ELEFANT -Musikvideo 2021

KULTURNEWS

LIFTED - Vocal Performance

DANIEL WITTKOPP - DIRECTOR

“Deeply trusting in the potential of movement, Anna Weißenfels creates a strangeness & energy that does not depend on back-translation processes, but unfolds its significance through the spectator‘s ability to associate.“ 
(translated from German)

WHEN I WILL TWICE AND GO ONCE - short film 2012

DIE WELT

"A highly aesthetic tableau vivant.“

 

BLOG DISKURS FESTIVAL

“From erotically affectionate to monstrously uncanny. (...) A highly precise interplay of sameness and yet difference, never seeming arbitrary. (...) The repetition unfolds like a mantra that, despite all its endlessness, never truly becomes unsettling." (translated from German)

 

DIE RIESIN - Dance Solo 2008

ADA NEWSLETTER

“An unforgettable journey through the land of illusions - poetic, delicate and even strange.“

NOCH NICHT - Tanzperformance 2007-2009

NRZ DÜSSELDORF

"Cleff and Weißenfels have created something extraordinary here, a highly artistic, yet sensuous piece, which in some places can escape the accusation of being pretentious with grotesque humor.” (translated from German)

 

AZ MAINZ

“Cleff und Weißenfels were brilliant: their choreographic sequences, body language, and almost pantomine-like abilites are outstanding.
In this way, a sharp, almost desperate sense of drama emerges beneath all the aesthetic beauty.”

(translated from German)

 

ALTNEUATLANTIS - Kainkollektiv 2008

WESTFÄLISCHE NACHRICHTEN

“Together the form the fantastic ensemble of  Altneuatlantis. They dance, act, play instruments, and sing polyphonice Bach chorales ”

 

RHEINISCHE POST

“The production thrives on its six-member ensemble, which seems to consist entirely of multilatented performers” (translated from German)

 

WAZ

“Wonderful also, how dancer Anna Weißenfels laboriously raises on the wall against which she is jumping - more of her dance would have liked to be seen” (translated from German)

 

FRÄULEIN JULI - theater play2008

NGZ NEUSS

“Danced by the original Anna Weißenfels, the embodiment of an all-subversive, disabling external world.“ (translated from German)
