"BETWEEN THE ART OF SPOKEN AND THE STREET ARTS" : Le Jardin Aveugle by Libération

"Le Jardin Aveugle adventures between the art of spoken text and the street arts. A grand première in the rich career of this company born in New York in 1999, Le Jardin Aveugle attempts to prove that street theater can nourish itself from words (the contemporary novel) as much as from spectacular performances to ultimately succeed in creating an intimate play for a public space." - Avignon, july 2000


"AN INTIMATE ATMOSPHERE IN A MOVING STAGE DESIGN" : Hôtel Eden by Coulisses

"As in a planetarium, sitting under the stars, Begat Theater brings us into a magical world. A circular world, swarming with beings, with light, overtaken by the spellbinding sonorities that are intimately mixed with the movements of T's world, a scrawny and endearing character, secretive and captivating… A backward Little Prince…. Using an original conception of choreography and set design, the show immerses the audience in the heart of the action, displacing perpetually the center. As T. runs away from his story, the characters (that include the audience) harass him from all corners of the labyrinth. The audience's gaze follows the thread of the action woven like a cloth all over the circular expanse, creating as a result an intimate atmosphere in a moving stage design… a striking show that has attracted a lot of attention." - Aurillac, august 2001
