ARTISTIC POLICY Ralf Ralf makes accessible, thought provoking and entertaining theatre that is relevant to audiences in many different countries. The performance uses invented languages and nonverbal languages of gesture, physicality and song to communicate, and does not need knowledge of English to be understood.
REVIEW EXTRACTS 'Fantastic… The experimental double act Ralf Ralf is electrifyingly dextrous.' The Times
'Superbly gifted performers who more than deserved the rapturous reception accorded them by the audience.' The New York Times
'Ralf Ralf eat the stage.' El Pais
