IN THE MEDIA
“who will save the night sky? is a funny and intriguing work that grounds us as much as it connects us to the stars. Philip is both a chameleon and clown, alternatively amazing us or challenging our preconceived notions. The play reminds us of the vastness of the universe and asks us to consider what our ultimate role might be.” Marjorie Chan (Artistic Director, Theatre Passe Muraille)
“who will save the night sky? is a beautiful rendering of old voices and new troubles. Geller is delightful, clever, and beautiful in delivery” Christine Genier (artist, writer, journalist)
