Reviews
Captures the confusions of immigration very well . . . beautifully understated . . . encompasses many kinds of language: physical, musical and emotional . . . It's a distinctive piece, full of ideas about how to integrate theatre and circus, which slyly creeps up on you and seizes your heart. -- Lyn Gardner * Guardian *
It's a beautiful, moving piece of loss and longing that never feels less than honest and truthful to those whose stories it represents. -- Lesley Bates * Stage *
