Her poetry can operate simultaneously as a dream of liberation" ✍︎ David Graeber: Anthropologist & Writer in Guardian Newspaper and Penguin Books "Sissy Doutsiou performed her poems shockingly once again while with the electronic sounds we were transported - for as long as it lasted - to another parallel universe." ✍︎ Thekla Tselepi: Radio Producer "Sissy Doutsiou, in the leading role (Metamorphosis - Franz Kafka), gives a real recital of the whole physical approach of the suffering and crucified human, reaching the limits of acting self-sacrifice, not even hesitating to "crumple" herself brutally." ✍︎ Leandros Polenakis: Theater Critic (since 1978) - PhD Department of Mass Media and Cultural Management
