"Pylade is a one of a kind production, that shines because of its fearlessness and commitment."



"under Ivica Buljan’s fine direction and the company’s terrific performances—especially that of Marko Mandić in the lead role—it also makes for an intense and entertaining (if difficult to digest at times) evening of theater."



"This production achieves this mixture of sacrilegious and transcendence through an alchemy of sound, movement, and acting...Marko Mandic is one of the bravest actors in the city."



"The clarity of the Greeks, the raw intellectuals of Pasolini, and the boldness of La MaMa make up for an invaluable spectacle in New York City."



“A grand display of dynamic staging combining dance, physical combat, and glorious tableaux!”
Darryl Reilly, TheaterScene.net


"Pylade is the tragedy of the hubris of the liberal elite and the nihilism of the disenfranchised — a tragedy our world is presently living through again as people across the globe increasingly turn to extremist ideology....we feel the full brunt of this tale of cyclical cataclysmic confrontation."
~Zachary Stewart, TheaterMania

Reviews Are Coming In For: DAILY LIFE EVERLASTING


"The vibe is rowdy and playfully surreal. Actors throw themselves around 
the stage with abandon, leaping into each other's arms to kiss or fight. 
They convene for a strobe-lighted bacchanal (joined by a couple of saucy Easter bunnies). 
The urgency is key: Daily life, humdrum in its routines, can feel everlasting — until, suddenly, it's over."
- Jacob Gallagher-Ross, Village Voice

"Part experimental theatre, part dance show, and part pop music video the young cast is brightly colored, aggressive, and passionate, providing a highly entertaining rollercoaster of an evening."

"The line between theater and performance gets another cheerful nudge from Witness Relocation's Daily Life Everlasting, a party-cum-show that fizzes with a thousand dance breaks—and then effervesces...like Easter on ecstasy." 
- Helen Shaw, Time Out New York

"Daily Life Everlasting sends love and sex and Mee's verbal exuberance through Safer's trusty blender along with the usual helping of quirky gestural movements, all-out ensemble dance numbers, video hallucinations, and other playful distractions." 
- Eva Yaa Asantewaa, InfiniteBody
