"The pig man clasps his hands - creatures from the dust feast - creatures in shadow movements, disoriented turtles laughing quietly. The reconstruction of Paradise is under way."

'This is one of the great New Zealand dance pieces. It has a spiritual and emotional density that captures the essence of human endeavours.'
The National Business Review

'MAU, from New Zealand, is a true Festival offering: experimental, provocative, irritating, hypnotically beautiful, and completely incomprehensible.'
The Advertiser, Adelaide
