QUOTES from PRESS CLIPPINGS


"...I have just seen the most poetic, magical, mysterious, surprising, touching, brilliant , small, large, show."
Dorthe Kolding, Herning Folkeblag,
Herning, Denmark, 2014


"
This is an exceptional evening of theater, stirring, impressionistic, dark and dreamy. A completely original tale dramatized with great sensitivity, manifest with tattered grandeur."

Alix Cohen
Woman around Town
New York City, USA, November 2013


"Fantasy and madness, dreams and nightmares are not a contradiction in this performance (…) the delicate interaction between the two actors on the stage make "The Orphan Circus" an extraordinary theatrical experience."
Rüdiger Otto von Brocken
Schleswig-Holsteinischer Zeitungsverlag
Flensburg, Germany, September 2012
 

"Even at the end of the world, in its darkest alleys
you can find something beautiful."
Szymon Adamczak, Nowa Siła Krytyczna
Poznan, Poland, December 2011


"Evocative and thought provoking, The Orphan Circus, fills us with magic and wonder.  It is small and precious gift of a theater capable of helping man in his many solitudes, to see things, even the very smallest, with new eyes, amazed at last."
Marcella Scopellitti, KLP teatro,
Torino, Italy, October 2011


"This wordless theater touches the soul.
And leave a mark on it."
Annamária Markovics,
Magyar Szó, Serbia, November 2011


"Who knew that puppets can create so much magic!
The Canadian Les Sages Fous breathe new life into puppet theater with ‘The Orphan Circus"
Bergens Avisen, Bergen, Norway, November 2011
