'WHALEBONE is a real imagination buzz from start to finish. This is a perfect show for everyone, no matter what age, to be introduced to wonder and imagination through theatre.' Janice Haynes (Forge Theatre and Arts Hub Manager).
'WHALEBONE is a clever, witty, endearing work about the recollection and passing on of precious memories and stories to future generations. A great, fun show for young people to consider the ethics and boundaries around co-existence with artificial intelligence.' Jodee Mundy (Fuse Festival, City of Darebin).
'In Whalebone Jens Altheimer has created something very special. Wahlebone is visually delightful; the recycled contraptions, inventions, cleverly used technology and magic combined with juggling and clowning are totally mesmerising and engaging.
Yet through all of this wizardry and physical theatre there is a show with real heart that shares an important message without and didacticism. This is undeniably a show for all ages, with as much to connect adults and children.
It is a show to make you smile and laugh, to be surprised and delighted. Most of all it is a show to make you empathise with the human dilemma and with our responsibility to the world around us and all that is animate and inanimate within it.' Stephen Champion (Manager, Bathurst Memorial Entertainment Centre).
