"Foolish People's Dark Nights of the Soul is a truly unique production. By turns darkly comic, surreal, horrific, genuinely thought provoking and certainly not for the faint of heart. Verdict: Dark Nights of the Soul is pure Fortean magick."
10/10
"Obvious survivors of the harshest of Nova conditions, FoolishPeople's performance of Dead Language at EsoZone in Portland shimmered with life force and various less identifiable radiations. Could this be the first theatre requiring tinfoil hats? Whatever the reason, John Harrigan and the other members of his troupe move on stage in a way you can feel all the way in the balcony. Their combination of esoteric symbolism and ritual elements provides an interactive, gnostic experience that will leave you feeling...different. Come see a challenging vision that will leave you scrambling to establish digital rights management for your soul. I cannot recommend attending the next FoolishPeople performance strongly enough. After all, someone should probably be keeping an eye on them."

"Dead Language
"And that reminds me, Fuck your performance art - FP is magick and that’s what we came here for whether we argue about it or not. FP is beyond the predispositions we hold, whether you believe or not, once there in the metaphorical circle they’ve cast around the environment you know something potent is unfolding before you, for those with eyes to see, I suggest it resembles the moment the lotus bursting into blossom. Art on the inside, Blood on the outside - if you are not sacrificing for your art and magick it is lifeless and begging to be infused with a portion of what you are given from out of the depths of the nothingness and beyond - FoolishPeople know this and their work resounds their experience in it’s potency, divinity, and splendorous beauty."
