“Today’s electrifying performance by Gema Galiana and two other actors will surely remain etched in the memory of spectators for long for the manner it showcased the unique universal and timeless potential of the human body as a powerful tool of expression so as to stir emotions and responses in an audience.”
“What a gifted show!
Striking beauty of the vital forces ou l’Elan vital !

Spirits consumed in an exhilarating Lost Eden
