Fearless Dutch troupe Kassys visits the Festival of Firsts

Pittsburgh City Paper - Pittsburgh: "A YouTube inquiry into the work of Dutch theater company Kassys reveals some intriguing things. You'll learn that extravagant costuming and elaborate set design are not at the forefront of the company's artistic vision. You'll then realize that its commitment to truth in performance, utilization of the art of theater to explore man's relationships with self and others, and fearlessness in communication with each other and the audience renders lavish technical values extraneous. And in the process, you'll discover that the word 'barbecue' is the same in both English and Dutch."

Kassys's performance was fantastic. It was fun, lighthearted and entertaining. It was incredibly interesting to watch these "children" learn and interact... in the eeriest way possible.
