Press coverage

Writer and date unknown, Aftenposten [Oslo]:
"Can schizophrenia and anarchy be entertaining summer topics? When the young Carte Blanche dancer Jo Strømgren takes hand of choreography, text, costume, stage design and dance, the answer is a wholehearted yes! [...] Jo Strømgren is extraordinarily gifted scenically, and an independently creating talent, who despite his young years already has found a general communication key without giving up artistic integrity."

Writer and date unknown, Dagbladet [Oslo]:
"How it feels must be experienced. But if you imagine being entrapped by your own movements, by an invisible polaroid photographer spitting you out in present time, past and future, until you need to win over him, whatever the cost - there is the notion. Or imagine a supreme pantomime with arms and legs bouncing out of the strangest surfaces, a head with a hat shaped like a chimney, the timing of cartoons and the artistry of the clown - and you get the idea why even the sourest soul rips his stomach muscles."
