Review: THEATRE OF GULAGS, VAULT Festival
by Kat Mokrynski - February 27, 2023
Even with my desire to learn and my love for immersive theatre, the show was confusing and left me frustrated.

by BWW News Desk - February 27, 2023
“Just Take Them and Leave Me Alone” by Raoof Haghighi touched on the most raw-nerve at the centre of the Iranian Women's Rights movement. It depicts a surreal image of a woman who, as her breasts and groin have been removed, is left free from the abusive constraints or demands placed on her because of the male response to those parts of her body.

by Kat Mokrynski - February 26, 2023

Ultimately, Rendez-Vous Revue is a fun show with some great performances that could be a little more cohesive. Sometimes the performances felt a bit low-energy, but that may have been solo performers being on such a large stage, only accompanied by loud music and the cheering audience.
