"Even though it does not seek directly any contemporary analogies but instead tries to find the existential dimensions of individual choice, this performance raises the issue of the conflict between personality and society. The group of "liberal wanderers" (in this interpretation carefree students) becomes a gang of rogues just for the joke, but each pays the price of his irresponsibility - they all end up physically and spiritually devastated. (...) The nervous, coarse, eclectic style in a jagged, capricious rhythm involving sudden turns and surprising farce is concentrated into the consistency of the narration - the irony of the first scenes gradually fades away, followed by the playful tone of the actors, to be transformed slowly into an internal energy of the characters."
Assen Konstantinov, "Demokratsia", April 2000
