“Exquisite Noise is less about storytelling than about collective awakening. What emerges is an onto-epistemological choreography: a sensorial experience of bodies, lights, and sounds that redefines the essence of noise as a political gesture and a deeply human ritual.”

“Van Huynh’s interest in the power, freedom, strength and solidarity of protest and its ability to allow people to find their political voice, resonates with the terrifying present when democracy across the world is under threat and people’s rights and liberties are gradually being eroded.”

“Van Huynh manages something quite rare here: turning very real, visceral anger into a thing of beauty. It’s a political, sweaty mess, and utterly human.”

★★★
“One saw an active body in peril, one of resistance and community, and all of this represents the power of dissent when used for a valuable cause.”

★★★½
“Visually and kinetically, Exquisite Noise is astonishing. The minimalist staging and strong lighting create a sense of exposure, of risk. There’s nowhere to hide.”
