“The performance is an emotional roller coaster of just over two hours, stripped of pretensions and where the ensemble’s presence, interaction and raw talent are all that is needed to carry and drive the illusion forward. The “fourth wall” towards the audience is not demolished, because it is never built up and the address fluctuates in a balanced way between show and tell.”  – Förlaget / Janne Strang

“Acting includes a huge scale of different levels of empathy. The actors position themselves as outlines. In the end, each viewer gets to color the picture themselves, and that’s what the audience really does. The audience cries, laughs, is amazed and shocked by their self-image without the actors having to push and force” – Helsingin Sanomat / Maria Säkö
