REVIEWS

KOANGA

"Michael Gieleta’s stylish staging made as good a case as possible for Koanga”

KOANGA

"The highlight….a difficult period piece to bring off, its challenges are strongly yet sensitively met by Michael Gieleta “

KOANGA

“Brave revival”

KOANGA

“Michael Gieleta…has created a simple, attractive, and powerful work”

KOANGA

“Director Michael Gieleta efficiently summons the milieu…placing the action within a white ‘cube’ and making imaginative use of light, projections and movement..and immensely arresting production.”

KOANGA

“Director, Michael Gieleta, back in Wexford after his success with Stokowski’s Maria in 2011, has assembled an impressive cast.”

KOANGA

“Kinetic choreography and delicate imagery drawn from Ubele beading conjure the Africa from which Koanga has been stolen.”
