Critical Acclaim
“Funny, revealing, and very invigorating... You will encounter things that no U.S. company would dare do.”
-CHICAGO TRIBUNE
★★★½
“The inherently mad contradictions of unfettered democracy come oozing out of the seams.”
-CHICAGO SUN-TIMES
“A theater experience unlike any other…This is a vital work.”
-PERFORMINK
★★★★
“A vital exploration of why we hang on to our democratic institutions despite their dysfunctions”
-THE SCOTSMAN
★★★★
“Impressive…without even a single political reference, Fight Night makes a precarious analysis of the consensus politics our democratic system has fallen into.”
-DE MORGEN
★★★★
“It informs us about ourselves, rather than about the actors. How we, as individuals and as a group, judge, condemn, punish or tolerate.”
-DE STANDAARD
