REVIEWS

“A combination of dance and dramatic expression to convey in turn a woman's sense of anger and emptiness at losing a child and the numb inadequacy of a man who knows not where to turn or how to respond" Culture Northern Ireland "With leaves gradually falling from a tree in a corner, and with darkening clouds blooming, then dying, plant visible on a projected screen behind them, dancers O'Neill and Fuentes Guaza dig deep to eke out numerous feelings of struggling to continue after such a horrifying turn of events." The Big List

“Hits close to the quick in its examination of the welter of emotions experienced by those who have suffered loss. Beautifully lit and persuasively scored.” Culture Northern Ireland
