Primož Jesenko: Lucid madness with a point of view
»The line between play and madness in these surreal, sensual dream images is blurred – however, this is the state of lucid, intentional and penetrating madness. This is madness with brains and with a point of view, permissive for various interpretations. Out of this madness the poetry is pouring out as well (in the parts of Govc or Zorc), which is a completely Artaudian experience. At these points the pleasure of watching More is upgraded. It is clear that this “young” project brings absolute freshness into the reality of so called “safe” creative approaches. Because the hierarchy between theatre as ‘text’ and the perception of ‘theatre as theatre’ has been abolished. Original.« (Delo Ljubljana 2. December 2003)

Gregor Butala: Theatre a la carte
»What remains after thorough reduction of theatrical signs is a sum of appearances in the purest form which can only conditionally be marked as “acting”. As far as the basis of this hapenning are actors with their own psychic content, not striving to present anything else than fragments of their selves, short circuits of their own identity, their separate appearances are – sometimes less, sometimes more – intimate personal confessions, in one way or another linked to their relation to the thematised sin. It is therefore not about “acting” more about “exhibiting”; instead of ‘performance’, a more suitable term could therefore be (self)presentation or even: exhibition.« (Dnevnik Ljubljana 1.

Klemen Fele: After anger there comes gluttony
»Stage performance does not fill up only visual and hearing perception, but is due to abundance of food saturated with smells. Food, to which performers are exposed, can be arranged in different strings, objects are repeated in series; however, idea is unique in each scene. Special mention goes to Petra Govc’s scene White Death, where she transforms into unhealthy pastry, breaking down the relations between in and out, and points to the madness of eating regimes.« (Finance Ljubljana 26.

Anja Golob: My loaf can be a slipper
»More has one crucial characteristic that is absolutely essential for every theatre (and is all too often missed elsewhere) – pure pleasure for play respectively at play. Alike to a childish play, it is enrapturing, when it over and over again shows the primal amazement at the world – and the actors are a pleasure to see.« (Večer Maribor 26. November 2003)
