Viewer reviews
"A sharp-witted electronic opera, its visuals full of imagination, humor and absurdity. An unconventional experience of theater, a performance mixed into a groovy social allegory"
"Well-made satirical play with an off-beat theatrical style, that manages to tackle many burning topics in an original manner and with poetic, nuanced text. A very good show "
"An ethereal musical backdrop…a political and sexual satire…Funny and frightening at the same time, the twisty plot kept us on the edge of our seats"
