"Never has theater sound been so intense... Fascinating story, fascinating visual theater." Jyllandsposten
"Something happened to me. Suddenly the National Danish Bank was placed in Odessa, while Odessa sounded as if it was transported to the Danish street Norrebrogade. A true battle for the senses...So let's go to Odessa!" Politiken
"Devilishly well done! It's beautiful, intellectual, sleepy, but it is also incredibly interesting and damned worth seeing!" Børsen
"Thank you." In the new sense-stimulating performance by Hotel Pro Forma, images from Odessa fade into images of the streets of Copenhagen and on to a large screen, while the audience slides into an isolated world of sound between sets of headphones. The aesthetics of Kirsten Dehlholm and Ralf Richardt Strøbech are up in the ethereal regions where it doesn't matter if the cloud is Danish or if the air is European. Hotel Pro Forma creates international art and universal thoughts in a global world. Spasiba. Information
"Both in the street and in the studio Johannes Lilleøre is magnificent as the central performer, that steps out of the screen and goes live on stage to recite texts by Nabokov. Most interesting and touching in 'relief' are certainly Nabokov's texts and the new interviews with citizens from the melting pot Odessa by the fascinating sea." Berlingske Tidende
"Space odessy 2008
The new performance 'relief' from Hotel Pro Forma is in the most literal sense a 'space odessy', a travel in space, with the 3-dimensional sound as a teasing and poetic compass. Truly a motion-picture performance worth seeing, but it could as well be named a sound-performance. Innovative and sensuous theatre." Byen kalder
"Magnificent play that examines reality"
Svenska Dagbladet
