2023 The Berliner Critics' Highlight

"Amy Stebbins’ excellent chamber opera ... collapses time so that an Elon Musk acolyte from our near future – a proud if hapless digital nomad – and an exploited seamstress from the 1920s could collide in a dystopian apartment complex where occupants pay for each flush of the toilet. As two actors insisted we sing along, this performance emphasised theatre’s capacity to create its own time and place, joining together figures across eras and beyond the stage in recognition of the housing problems that have haunted Berlin."


"An absurd yet realistic tragicomedy, both hilarious and heart-wrenching" - rbb Inforadio kultur
