A mirror for all of us. What do you see when you see me? Us? Them? The performers perform the ridiculousness of the truth with satirical flair, as Kyla Davis once said: “We laugh so that we do not scream”. - Lea Seekoe — ★★★★★ (5/5) — July 11, 2025
So good to see women telling us about history. Excellent perspective of perceptions and treatment of humans post colonialism. - Gerard Bester — ☆☆☆☆☆ (0/5) — July 11, 2025

Loved it! Strong, very meaningful piece with humor. Universal! Important! Powerful! The three performers bring their hearts and souls and the entire audience feels it. First time in English and you’d never know it. Yes! Yes! Yes!!! - Vincent Mantsoe — ★★★★★ (5/5) — July 9, 2025
