Description "….this is a rich work built up from movement, sound and projected slides. It succeeds in creating an Einsteinian picture of time. Its strengths lie in the way the performers’ movements communicate directly to us.” McGillick, Financial Review.

…the standard of performance on the opening night was high..."Skyes, SMH.

"...an absorbing spectacle from start to finish ….cohesive, coherent, and quite stimulating...the mind was properly called in to comprehend the sense. Certainly this work is for a thinking person.”, Campaign
