Honors:
“On redécouvre avec bonheur une forme de théâtre qui commence à resurgir à Montréal: celui de la marionnette pour adultes. Quelques minutes d’adaptation nous permettent d’oublier les comédiens derrière les marionnettes, et d’entrer complètement dans l’univers onirique créé à travers cet art unique.” – montrealtheatre.qc.ca
“Bawdy, hilarious … I have never heard an audience so responsive to the humour in a production.” – CBC Daybreak
“Some of the most beautiful puppets I have ever seen this whole production screams of greatness on paper, and trust me, it more than lived up to my expectations… A great example of original theatre with a great mix of humans and puppets, combining to create a tremendous piece of work.” – bloodyunderrated.com
“The production is a visual gem, beginning with the glorious hand-crafted puppets designed by Zach Fraser… Heretics of Bohemia remains one of the most creative theatrical experiences you’ll probably get all year.” – roverarts.com
“This is art about art, full of self-questioning about the function of masks in the search for identity. One of the most poignant characters has no face at all.…Not since the passing of Felix Mirbt (or the last visit of Ronnie Burkett) have we seen such a genius of puppetry operating in English Montreal.” – Montreal Gazette
