Critical acclaim for Built on Bridges:
“A world premiere which might deserve a world stage.”
“…a work that uses creativity, inquiry and collaboration to such an impact that when this performance ends there is that moment of silence in which an audience can gather its emotional wits before rising unanimously in applause.” Mary Leland, Irish Times (★★★★★)
