Recenzii

Impressively navigates the tricky boundaries that separate art and life, the haunted present and the haunting historical past.
In recalling a traumatic chapter of African history, it magnifies the biases and conflicts that are inextricably part of the act of remembrance itself.
A smart piece of self-reflexive theatre, constantly questioning the appropriation of characters, narratives and cultures that are commonplace elements of 'storytelling'.
A genuine THUNDERBOLT . devastatingly funny . dangerous and primal and weird.
