"It is Theatre of Cruelty, Grand Guignol and Grotesque, performed magnificently.At the play’s end, Krohn has elevated the banal, the invisible and the downtrodden into high art.
This is truly great theatre."
"Sasha Krohn elevates emotional torment to high art in his powerful, rhythmic storytelling, constructing emotions in his deliberate change in dancing styles. This is a truly exceptional performance...Both a tormenting and beautiful portrayal of the human condition, The Weight of Shadow resonates long after the final light fades."
"...this performance by Sasha Krohn, a performance artist, is exceptional....Sacha Krohn’s outstanding show is awarded five fringe festival stars from Theatrevibe, the site that doesn’t do stars"
"It’s a striking embodied metaphor for how the appearance of strength doesn’t always mean a person behind it is strong ...he becomes a representation of a universal human struggle; to literally pull oneself up, on and out when the body wants to do the opposite."
"It weighs heavy on you, and, is in itself, a brave act to both create and perform. This makes it so worth being watched for all the intangible feelings and all the subtext it conjures up that very few shows can ... I can tell you about how beautiful the movement is, the grace and desperation in every second of physical acting, and what I felt watching it. But none of these can do it justice, only seeing it for yourself can."
"This mesmerising and often haunting mix of dance, acrobatics and mime is pure theatre, resonating strongly as it explores loneliness and the daily battles and triumphs we all experience. It's performed with astonishing physicality...every movement is designed to convey easy-to-understand inner thoughts, feelings and frustrations, including brief moments of despair, triumph and hope."
"Shown through an incredible use of body language, physicality and facial expressions making it clear to the audience the character’s struggles within the performance...An incredible and a unique way to explore mental health through physical theatre and dance."
"...we are reminded of legendary physical performances by the likes of Derevo and Al Seed ... It’s a physical tour-de-force by a very talented performer – a disturbing picture of mental illness, enacted with precision...."
