    "The salt of the project is to get people from different countries to fall in love with each other creatively, without having to leave their towns and cities."

  • THE HUFFINGTON POST

    This is taking technology to a new level in theater performance. (…) A hot topic of conversation and a hot ticket to get”

  • STAGE BUDDY

    Director Ana Margineanu delivers many interesting choices when portraying both sides of the wall. The point of great theater is to strike at our feelings and leave us wondering why. Bamboo in Bushwick definitely leads that conversation.

  • THEATER PIZZAZ

    There are few opportunities to see New York City in such an imaginative and innovative fashion. Broken City is an opportunity that should not be missed.

    I must say that I have never paied so much whole-hearted attention before in the theatre.

    I had a synesthetic experience, his words creating the food I had requested, bringing back memories of childhood, and steeping me in a soft, nostalgic glow.

  • BISCANE TIMES

    Both director Ana Margineanu and the actors who play Avery, June Raven Romero and Susie K. Taylor, succeed in flawlessly evoking a certain instantly recognizable kind of unfiltered fandom. But by the end of the evening, transformations have taken place. Higher beings have been channeled.

  • MIAMI ARTZINE

    “Conjuring the King” is Juggerknot’s newest hit. Its director is Ana Margineanu, who nicely balances moments of levity with darker, more depth-filled instances. “Conjuring the King” is hardly similar to your average play or musical. It shines at every level.

  • ARTBURST MIAMI

    “Conjuring the King” immerses its audiences in joyful fun and as much Elvis trivia as a writer can gracefully pack into a script that isn’t actually about the object of its protagonist’s obsession. And that’s what makes the play memorable.

    Theatre is often comfortable voyeurism - Long Distance Affair rejects this traditional role. You become as much a part of the narrative as the actor, making the experience surprisingly raw and unsettling, as your past life spills into the story, sharing it with a perfect stranger. Margineanu’s production is dangerous, thrilling and a fascinating piece of psychological theatre.

  • THREE WEEKS

    Distance is no barrier to intimacy in this intense, immersive experience. Thirty actors from five continents have collaborated to create an innovative production in which each audience member is individually given three live performances to watch – and should they choose, participate in – over Skype.

  • FRINGE REVIEW

    Edinburgh is often about breaking new ground, and The Female Role Model Project at Bedlam certainly does that. It can also, with such a complex show, be about things going horribly wrong. However, this team have nailed it; four actors, audience involvement, live video and soundscape and a visiting PhD student contributing the science all come together for something original, quirky, intelligent, evidence based and, ground breaking.
