Audience Accountability at the Fringe
by Leah Byrne / August 29, 2023
"Overwhelm – directional, pointed – seems to be the name of the game here. 4/4/4 is about the exhaustion of Asian performativity: even supposedly joyful acts of racial subversion have emotional tolls that are plumbed too often, too extremely, too naïvely; we are implicated guiltily if white, pressured to sympathise on all sides if Asian."
4/4/4 Review
by Sally Stott / August 18th, 2023
"A Brechtian dissection of California rolls, cultural tropes and theatre itself, both the show and its characters are constantly in metamorphosis, as the growing pile of assumptions and behaviours deemed incorrect starts to stifle the conversation and drive the group apart in a piece that joyfully takes aim at itself, as well as others elsewhere.... Using comedy like a precision tool, rather than feeling the need to be endlessly funny, the piece concludes in the kind of chaos that these conversations often do – but also a glorious freeform dance routine to Freddy Mercury’s The Great Pretender. After all, “aren’t we all fakes?” we are asked."

"A company of Asian artists turn the White gaze back upon White people, in this dissection of racial capitalism sure to upset all the right people (literally)."

Don Quixote Returns To NYC, Only This Time In Mandarin
by Sicheng Luo (People's Daily Online) / May 17, 2019
"Zhen Yu Yao (Victor), the director of this production, also shared how the experience working on this project resonates with the story of Cervantes, one of the main characters in the play, 'Seeing Cervantes put on a play and create a world in front of fellow prisoners mirror the process of the work we do as theatre artists. We create something out of nothing. We build worlds out of inspiration and collaboration.'"
