A story we need to hear: When death becomes everyday life

Tobasi played with humor, sadness, and rage, and you were drawn into the story as he told it so vividly. The seriousness of the situation became clear, and you started to ask the question "what could they have done today if they hadn't lived under such circumstances?"

Exciting story and very coolly performed

Apart from the screens on the floor, the classroom looks like a normal classroom. The narrators are wearing everyday clothes and two of them are sitting among us at the desks. The fact that the performance takes place in a normal classroom makes the whole story seem much more real and realistic.

50 minutes too much

I think the dancers were good. They had clear and precise movements, but that doesn't give me anything.

Forget the script: When kebab talk saved the theater

The performance makes me reflect on how clear and important the face is when talking to someone, what prejudice can do to a conversation, and how the fact that no one sees you affects what you share and what you don't.

Impressive storytelling

In the monologue performance "1969," Kate Pendry travels through present-day and childhood London, searching for answers and reconciliation. The audience is invited along, but must work to stay connected throughout.
