★★★★
“A stunner of a show…utterly unlike anything you will have seen before. It is performed in such bravura fashion, you likely will be floored. A must-see.”
-CHICAGO TRIBUNE
“Dhaenens’ performance is all about the power of oration and the oration of power. His control of his vocal instrument, with the occasional help of audio loops and effects, is impressive.”
-CHICAGO SUN-TIMES
“Shocking and stirring...Dhaenens’ interwoven onslaught goes beyond irony to a kind of enlightenment. It conveys, more powerfully than we prefer, the relativity of rhetoric.”
-STAGE AND CINEMA
“The show will always be timely. Dhaenens was particularly gifted, giving this production a powerful punch. He seamlessly embodies each character with a change of position.”
-THIRD COAST REVIEW
“A sort of sorcery… one man and a few microphones morph into an electrifying and transcendent piece of art”
-EXEUNT MAGAZINE
“Brilliant… Dhaenens employs not just his voice but his entire body to examine justice, war, racism and retribution”
-THE GUARDIAN (UK)
“Perfectly honed and compelling theatrically… a mind-blowing celebration of the power of human speech”
-GEORGIA STRAIGHT
(VANCOUVER)
“Made clear how important it is to be aware of the way words lead us to war, rally the oppressed, and celebrate victory”
-FRINGE REVIEW (UK)
