“Easily the most arresting element are the brilliant projections by YeastCulture. The ending is glorious, Mbi caught in a vortex of billowing strings, embraced by a spectral figure, glowing like a superhero recharging, endowed with powers, or perhaps enlightenment in this case. It’s worth waiting for.” — The Guardian
“The addition of state-of-the-art digital animation by YeastCulture elevates a deceptively-simple show in performance terms and thrillingly externalises something as personal as identity and memory into something strikingly visual and weighted with significance.” — The Reviews Hub
