#JeSuis

"[ . . . ] From a visual perspective, #JeSuis has some of the most exquisitely beautiful use of lighting that I've seen in any performance for a long time. The inclusion of shadow and the absolute absence of any desire to adhere to convention only added to the narrative of the story [ . . . ]"

Dan Richards - Black Country Radio - February 15th, 2018


"[ . . . ] Between blackouts, we glimpse striking tableaux, some of them Caravaggio would be proud of.  Imprisoned in narrow strips of light, they [the dancers] shake wildly [ . . . ]"

William Stafford - Bum on a seat - February 16th, 2018


"[ . . . ] Each sequence was literally lit to great effect, created striking images on the stage, which was sparse and very effective in creating a scene of a dystopian society. It was almost as if steam punk was on the brink of madness [ . . . ]"
