Uniquely devastating

Observer

Translunar Paradise so moved me (and plenty of others in the oft-sniffling audience) because of its uniquely devastating method, prompting thoughts about bereavement using only gesture, never cheapening its subject by attempting to describe the indescribable

MUST-SEE!’ Show: I really cannot recommend this highly enough – it is not just one of the best shows I have seen at this year’s fringe, but any fringe.

The Stage

- - -

Extraordinarily poignant…beautifully performed…. packs a real emotional punch. In the end, this is a show about loss and bereavement that is as much about mourning your own lost self as about the grief at the death of a long-term partner.

A near-perfect example of contemporary wordless theatre – and proof (should anyone need it) that theatre without words can engage the head, touch the heart, and nourish the soul just as effectively as any other form.

It is difficult to put into words just how impressive Theatre Ad Infinitum’s Translunar Paradise is. Simply: find a way to see it.

The Leeds Guide

I’ve never seen anything like Translunar Paradise. Without words, the despair of loss and the soaring arc of love are perfectly portrayed. A very special piece of theatre which will stay with me for a long time.

Translunar Paradise is as close to perfect as a piece of theatre can get. Every moment of this 70 minute production is truly mesmerising and I cannot recommend it highly enough.

For all the attempts at “total theatre” in the Fringe, this one by Theatre Ad Infinitum truly broke down the barrier between performers and audience: we were immersed, palpably spellbound, breathtaken.

We perhaps live in a culture saturated with cynical attempts to draw on our emotions from fleeting television shows to saccharine Hollywood sentimentality, and yet with only a stage, a couple of actors and some props to aid them, Theatre Ad Infinitum presented an inner and real clarity of condition that will effect all who witness it.

Despite the sadness of the tale (bring tissues), the message from this evening was, to me, curiously life-affirming: live, love, savour each moment, without fear or regret – and do not miss the gem that is Translunar Paradise!

This could be compared to a poignant wordless poem but there are delicious flashes of humour which kept me smiling, our two characters are supremely skilled in the art of mime, the direction is outstanding and every one of the seventy minutes is utterly absorbing.

This is a masterclass in mime from these two Le Coq trained actors. A true tour de force told with passion and moving sensitivity. I cannot recommend this production highly enough.
