APES award
Winner of Chile’s APES (Asociación de Periodistas de Espectáculos) 1999 award for best dance production, "Messiah" was also awarded the Teatros del Mundo prize and was named Best Choreography of the year by the daily Clarín. The production’s success is derived not simply from its choreogpapher’s unique style, but also from the fact that "Wainrot has perfectly managed the risk inherent in the creation of a choreographic work like "Messiah": its poetics are no mere ballet accessory looking for a way to rise to the heights of Handel’s music, but a tribute to one of the greatest works of choral music ever written".
(El Cronista Comercial)
"(…) the bodies move to a volatile, driving beat in the Wainrot style: beyond breathlessness".
(La Nación)
Dance Companies From South America
The presence in Montréal of dance companies from South America is an event in itself.

(La Prensa)
Rite of Spring
"Wainrot's realisation of Le Sacre du Printemps told best of his imaginative gift. The setting is by Carlos Gallardo; and the emotional drive of the piece is timeless. What makes this staging noteworthy is the clarity and force of Wainrot's patternings, and the dedication of the Flanders dancers, who are tireless, seemingly hypnotised by the rite, and splendid. It is fine and memorable dancing".
(Clement Crisp The Financial Times Limited, London Nov 16, 2000)
"Wainrot’s Rite of Spring, is an exciting journey into a ritual set somewhere in the mist of the long past. The dancing is in a word powerful recognition of the stunning piece of choreography that has been witnessed".

(with The Cincinnati Ballet)
