“Bloom is such a pretious project. Kae’s calm and very specific performative presence, cool and detached trad posture enriched by a performative task kick make you, as audience member, flow throughout an abstract geography of traditional songs and Monika’s video art manipulate your fantasy in a multilayered world, where one coherent dramaturgy vision suggesting an unique point of view is dissolved in order to invite complexity to come in.
In Italy, a very stubborn audience resisted in the woods while raining, appreciating the show, the various artistic layers and the magic suspended bobble it created in a very easy and non pretentious way, which also reveals the ethics of the two artists, rare unique identities in a tend-to-get-confirmed artistic panorama.
Many festival audience members pick Bloom as their best show for the 2023 edition.”

“Thank you again for inviting us to the sharing. I’ve been feeling a bit low over the past week or so but your performance - the dancing, music, images, everything - really moved me and cheered me up. It reminded me of the power of art. Sincere thanks. My daughter loved it too! She was engaged from start to finish. I asked her what her favourite bits were, and she said she liked the bit where everyone was dancing in the tenement windows. She also liked the tree at the start with the bird and she loved when you moved your foot very slowly! I think it’s quite an achievement to keep a 7-year-old interested for an entire performance. It’s proof that this work can reach people of all ages.”
