“Beautiful and mesmerizing performances bring a unique physicality to universal themes about human relationships.”
“A beautifully crafted combination of physical theatre, contemporary dance and performance.”
“Gema Galiana, Guillaumarc Froidevaux, Zuyana Kakalikova and Anthony Nikolchev give mesmerizing and beautiful performances, demonstrating both their dancing and acting skills”
“The sound design did well in enhancing their feelings, frustrations and joys”
“I also loved the simple and elegant set, with the actors making great use of the four chairs and single long box that were the only props in the space.”
“Powerful”
“All the Things You Said reminds us to share our innermost feelings with the people we love, as it will otherwise be too late. There’s no point wondering what we should have said, we need to go ahead and say it. Silence and suppression is never the answer.”
Elke Wiebalck for Everything Theatre.co.uk
“Visually impressive, the simple stage space coming alive as the performers weave around the set, the chairs and table seemingly an extension of their bodies, incorporated seamlessly into the cast’s movement.”
“The performers switch between moods and scenes effortlessly, and at its most powerful All The Things You Said… has its audience moving from laughter to pained silence in an instant”
“An absorbing delicacy and simplicity in the way that the epic intertwines with the quotidian.”
“The show plunges the audience below the surface-level reality of social life”
Savannah Whaley for The Lodonist

A GREAT EXPERIENCE"
