ReviewsOF FLOWERS AND FLAMES - World Premiere, Venice October 2009
[...] The most moving part of the performance was “Of Flowers And Flames”, the audiovisual score, which was conceived by Andrea Molino, touched the audience through the strength by which sounds, images and movements communicated the forgotten tragedy of Bhopal. [...] Molino kept his promises, he succeeded in creating an organic work where the different expressive forms did not "accompany" each other but on the contrary became integrated and melted into an independent and coherent creation. L.M., VeneziaMusica, December 2009
