“A strange and sometimes dark look into feminist issues... Full of humour and poignancy... Zuma Puma is an accomplished performer of comedy and physical theatre...For a show you’ll still be talking about days later, this is the one to see!" - **** Upside News
“..the perfect blend of clown styles, with the spirit of Pochinko and the edge of Gaulier." University of Southern Australia Radio
" Clever and multidisciplinary. Her delivery is spot-on – evidence of a versatile and accomplished artist... A theatrical ritual of self-empowerment... Trigger warning: contains belly laughs, audience participation, motivational references and a rather outspoken vagina."- **** Everything Theatre
" Zuma Puma is an accomplished clown, who uses her skill to draw an audience in to a compelling narrative about what it is to experience shame as a woman... Zuma shape-shifts between characters with skill and conviction... Be prepared to experience an emotional roller coaster, from absurdity to poignancy, as one woman battles her inner critic. Clowning, puppetry, mask and physical theatre collide in a powerful feminist narrative... An entertaining, thought-provoking and energetic sense of fun will follow you out of the theatre." - **** Broadway Baby
