"An emotional heart of a play – the cast narrate with their bodies using sinuous dance; agile acrobatics. The beautiful shapes and stillness created by the cast are complemented by stunning lighting effects and inventive multimedia stagecraft. And there’s music too – throughout, a live band provides a pumping soundtrack, and accompanies soulful songs and angry rap about the right to life. An urgent and heartfelt evening." Alice Jones, The Independent, 23 July 2007
