Critical Acclaim
“Astounding in its simplicity. A choreography of freedom and joy.”
-THE GUARDIAN
“It is rare, as an adult to be truly knocked out with wonder, but Compagnie Non Nova achieve this feat with the least likely of materials.”
-EXEUNT MAGAZINE
“Plastic bags become flying superheroes, floating ghosts, feisty little creatures… It is the best use of the derided plastic bag I have ever seen.”
-THE SUNDAY EXPRESS (UK)
“It’s rare to see a stage show where you think: I really don’t know how they did that. Phia Ménard proves herself a small-scale sorcerer.”
-EVENING STANDARD (UK)
“It's extraordinary the grace and beauty which emerges from something usually seen as a plague on the planet. The bags swirl and waltz together as you watch, most-likely slack-jawed.”
-TIME OUT LONDON
“This beautiful but simple production made an impact on audience members, no matter what their age was.”
-BROADWAY BABY
“Simply beautiful… as full of hope and despair as anything I’ve seen in the past year.”
-A YOUNGER THEATRE
