‘Extraordinary, terrifying and hard to taste, hard to ignore. A piece so literally and metaphorically naked, raw and angry that you leave the theatre feeling as if you’ve had all your skin scraped off.’ ★★★★ Lyn Gardner, The Guardian

‘Extraordinary, uncompromising and entirely unforgettable. Rich, absorbing worlds that suck you in and shake you up, leaving you disorientated, disturbed and exhilarated.’ ★★★★ Sam Marlowe, The Times

‘Her er der en fuldstændig afvæbnende og frygtløst furie rasende Silvia Gallerano, der gjorde ’La Merda’ til indbegrebet af den særlige force, en rå direkthed og følelsesladning. Den teater, der virkelig vil os noget.’ ★★★★★ Monna Dithmer, Politiken

‘Devastating stream of consciousness. One of the most wonderfully full-on performance ever seen.’ ★★★★ Joyce McMillan, Scotsman

‘Brash, brutal, beastly, yet beautiful. Raw, touching, intelligent and mesmerising. Unforgettable.’ ★★★★ Amy Taylor, List

‘Pragtfuld, rablende nøgen Silvia Gallerano sig i det mest forbløffende teater monolog-manuskript siden. Det ryster os som publikum frem og tilbage i en turnus af latter og hårrejsende målløshed, undren og medfølelse.’ ★★★★★ Claus Sidel, GregersDH

‘Utterly compelling verbal symphony, simply irresistible.’ ★★★★ Herald

‘Silvia Gallerano is superb. It’s like walking into a circus. The beast ready on stilts. Look, nods, roaring. In front of her, without any shelter, all the tamers. Cristian Ceresoli’s La Merda, among dozens of awards won all over the world, it is not a show. It’s an experience. Absolute. Fifteen minutes of applause at the end. It is a must.’ Repubblica

‘Lots of awards for the revolutionary monologue.’ Sole 24 Ore

‘A howl of sorrow, an incitement to free our country.’ L’Unità

‘The rage is nude.’ Vogue | ‘Pasolinean Rage, sublime acting.’ Radio 3

‘It has become a phenomenon in itself, as soon as it is announced, it goes immediately sold out.’ La Stampa

‘Truly exceptional.’ ★★★★★ BroadwayBaby

‘Shocking monologue in the dying country.’ Corriere della Sera

‘Truly shocking and brilliant.’ ★★★★★ British Theatre Guide

‘A gem. Sixty minutes of amazing show where you struggle to paying compliments primarily for writing or interpretation.’ Il Giorno

‘This is skin in the tradition of Artaud and it is powerful, political & poetic. Virginia Woolf married with the spitting rage of punk’ ★★★★★ Examiner

‘Pinned back in our seats with the full force of the words’ ★★★★★ Skynny

‘An epic piece of drama, real, written & performed without fear’ ★★★★ FringeReview

‘You have to have courage. Silvia Gallerano certainly has. And so does Christian Ceresoli.’ ★★★★★ ThreeWeeks

‘This utterly mesmerising stream-of-consciousness performance both illustrates the possibilities of what theatre can do, and exemplifies what theatre should be.’ ★★★★★ Exeunt

‘Gallerano’s visceral performance will stay with you for years’ The Stage – MUST SEE!
