“The inimitable atmosphere of the performance from Bielsko-Biała never fails to enchant the viewers. The audience will be amazed by costumes
and puppets made by Eva Farkašová (…). Among them a large, paper puppet of the Beast definitely stands out; it takes three actors gifted with
great dexterity to animate it. A beautiful, yet parsimonious, almost Spartan set design, a slow pace of narration, and gentle background music
create a dreamy atmosphere. And the dream is about a great, true love.”
(Małgorzata Kroczyńska, Nowa Trybuna Opolska, No 239, 13 October 2005)
