“If you liked visceral drama The Shit/La Merda last year, this funny, wild, touching and empowering performance will be right up your street”. – The Stage
«They’re the first company I’ve seen to use nudity with a sense of power like a punch to the gut.» – A Younger Theatre
«behind the humour lies a confrontational, barbed edge and a bucketload of attitude. Not that we would wish exile on anyone, but please let this company maroon themselves again to see what they come up with next.» – Fest Magazin
Their second piece «Project HaHa» was performed at Full spin Festival in Essen and at the Edinburgh Fringes festival 2014.
