"The highlight of the GOP: The Swiss acrobatics Duo Scacciapensieri, which will cause any hobby gymnast to turn green with envy."
Varieté GOP Hannover, Neue Presse Hannover
"When a program consists only of top-class acts, then it's difficult to single out a highlight. Still, the performance of the Duo Scacciapensieri is exceptional. The two artists, a man and a woman, already won the prized "Prix Walo" for extraordinary artistic achievements. Portraying living sculptures, they balanced each other's bodies in the air in all kinds of possible and impossible positions. What they show is a combination of sheer physical strength and absolute body control."
Varieté de Bâle, Muttenzer Anzeiger
"...In shiny black bodysuits, which cleverly reflect the glow from the spotlights, the Duo Scacciapensieri presents a show that's bursting with acrobatic finesse."
Morgenpost Hamburg

Varieté Seidenfaden, Rhein Post
"...and there was thundering applause for the Duo Scacciapensieri, who will drive your worries away. That's what the Swiss artists call themselves, and they have the laugh on their side from the very start. Cornelia Clivio really knows how to make her partner Lorenz Matter's life difficult with breakneck stunts..."
Varieté GOP, Hann. Allg. Zeitung

Cirque de lune, Zürcher Unterländer
"The Duo Scacciapensieri started off the show with their unicycle act: a brilliant balancing act combining supreme artistic and comic elements..."
Neues Theater Höchst, Frankfurter Rundschau
"Top-class artistic performance, always just on the edge of disaster - the Duo Scacciapensieri opened the anniversary program "10 Years Variety Shows Live" in the Neuen Theater Höchst with a screamingly funny unicycle act."
Neues Theater Höchst, Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung
"One of the festival's new discoveries is the unicycle duo "Scacciapensieri", which is Italian for "those who drive your worries away". The only worries that Cornelia Clivio and Lorenz Matter are responsible for on the day of the festival are the occasional spectator who's breath is temporarily taken away on account of them clambering about on their fragile unicycles together, as if they were standing with both feet securely on the ground. With their performances - that get a lot of applause - they meet all of the evaluation criteria of the tough jurors.… That is why both the audience and fellow artists are equally pleased when the jury announces in the late afternoon that the two have been chosen the deserving festival winners."
