Plesni projekt Milana Tomášika se sprašuje o možnosti oblikovanja novega telesa, novega giba, postavlja dihanje nasproti ritmu glasbe ter sooča gibalne impulze sodobnega plesalca z baročno glasbo. Vzpostavlja napeto razmerje med zunanjimi vplivi zgodovine plesa ter notranjimi vzgibi in koncentracijo plesalca. Poiskati poskuša potencialnost telesa, ki bi gibajoče, plesno telo popeljalo v možnost izstopa izven prepoznavnih plesnih tehnik in socialnih pomenov telesa.
„Predstava Off-Beat po eni strani izvaja neke vrste arheologijo gest, preučuje stara in nova plesna izrazna sredstva in jih po drugi strani ironično presoja. Že samo način, kako kostumiranost manipulira gibe (v izgledu umetnika kot tudi zaznavanju občinstva), mojstrsko reflektira smisel in nesmisel pojmovanja avtentičnosti. […] Pametno raziskovanje plesa s plesnimi sredstvi.”
Steffen Georgi, Leipziger Volkzeitung, 19. 9. 2013
„Tomášik povezuje dva na videz nezdružljiva svetova: formalizem z avtentičnostjo izraza. […] Solo odraža precizno obvladovanje plesnega izraza, pri tem pa učinkuje spontano in sproščeno.“
Marek Godovič, Gledališki inštitut Bratislava, 19. 10. 2013

The dance project by Milan Tomášik addresses the possibility of shaping a new body and a new movement; it faces the breathing to the rhythm of music and confronts the motor impulses of a contemporary dancer with the baroque music. The performance establishes a tense relation between the external influences of the dance history and internal impulses as well as the dancer's concentration. The project aims to find the physical potentiality that would allow a moving and dancing body to step out of the recognizable dance techniques and social notions of the body.
„The performance Off-Beat on the one hand performs a kind of archaeology of gestures, examines old and new dance means of expression, and on the other hand ironically judges them. Just already the way how the costume design manipulates movements (in the appearance of the artist as well as in the perception of the audience), masterfully reflects the sense and nonsense notion of authenticity. [...] A smart exploration of dance with dance means. (Steffen Georgi, Leipziger Volkzeitung, 19. 9. 2013)
„»Tomášik connects two seemingly incompatible worlds: a formalism with the authenticity of the expression. [...] The Solo reflects a precise control of dance expression, while it looks spontaneous and relaxed. (Marek Godovič, Theatre Institute Bratislava, 19. 10. 2013)
