From the reviews:
"The director Eva Hribernik, together with the composer Pavel Mihelčič, has thought everything through very carefully and has conceived a very convincing performance overall; its gentle rhythm with the same music, full of melodiousness, poetry, only in some places with a little more drama, but with many inventive flashes that propel the flow forward, without getting lost for a moment in any monotony. The course of the performance is similar to the birth of light every morning, in dialogue with the eternity or with those worlds from where light is constantly coming. Because the most important thing is what is yet to come." (Marijan Zlobec, Wordpress, 31 August 2021)
