At the webpage of Odin Teatret the following, among other things, is written about Talabot:
"Amongst the 'hidden people' of the dead, Che Guevara is a Captain with feathers in his hat and resembling Cyrano de Bergerac. Light bones tinkle with a silver laughter. A baby is suckled with sand. A mound of refuse. And the true story, with a happy ending, of a living forty year-old Danish anthropologist with many children. After the performance, on the way out, a postcard is handed to each of the spectators in a sealed envelope. It shows an image from the performance: the Trickster, a strange elf with wings and a feline face, dancing around the mound of refuse from the performance which is piled up around a tree whose branches are tangled up in burnt barbed wire. On the other side of the postcard there is a quotation by Walter Benjamin on the Angel of History."

Writer and date unknown, Klassekampen [Oslo]:
"The explosive stage language appeals, like the music, primarily to the spectator's emotions and connotations. If one dares to be present and accept it, one may after the performance create one's own understanding of the theatre journey's meaning."
