Testimonials

In times when most things are fast paced and over stimulating, it was great to see “Nosferatu” from @tragicarpet the attention to detail in every element, to be able to enjoy the sound, the movement, the nuances that (re)define and (re)shape characters and plot, the simplicity and efficiency of storytelling at its core… and thank you, for a great chat, in the end of the show.

We very much enjoyed Freda’s visit, the residents responded very well to the experience and she held the attention of the residents, especially in the morning session that was geared towards the residents with dementia. Some residents went to both shows! The concept was brilliant and the puppets worked so well, such a good idea.
