Critics on my work
“Astonishing and highly original, with lots of humor. Revital Ariely creates wonderful puppets, full of human-like expressions. Yael Inbar manipulates them with great sensitivity and expressiveness. The result is an extraordinary performance.” (MAARIV, Tel-Aviv 1997)
“The story is very amusing and touching at the same time. …The manipulations are extremely original and dynamic…You are being lead from the grotesque via a violent trance to the absurd and cynical humor…The work goes very far in object-puppeteer relationship, It is a true dance of the soul.” (LE SOLEIL, Quebec, Canada 2006)
“ Yael Inbar and Revital Ariely are a combination of two huge tallents. The two, using their bodys, voices and astonishing puppets they created, bring up a compact and wise show about big misfortunes of little people.” ( Ha’ir’ Tel- Aviv 1996)
“The performance of Yael and Revital swept the public….the magic increases with the arrival of Gertrude… the human-puppet fusion goes very far, a unique momment where the spectator experiences an entire range of emotions. Undoubtedly, one of the strongest performances of the Festival.” (L'Ardennais, France 1998)
"Le charme a exulté avec l'arrivée de Gertrude, une marionnette cul-de-jatte qui s'approprie les jambes de sa manipulatrice. La fusion va très loin. Grand moment où le spectateur passe par toutes les émotions. Incontestablement,un des coups de coeur de ce festival." (L'Ardennais, France 1998)

“The Delusions with which Inbar and Ariely play, are especially remrkable, as they rely on little use of props , and lots of imagination. Their say is clear, they do not lack humor, they are gifted with accurate stage perception, so that the public receives an an intense portion of delight.” (Davar, Tel-Aviv 1995)
“Inbar anchored a dazzling, moving tour de force of the puppetry arts. Ariely's charming asides and crisp commentaries added humor to the sometimes dark, always pithy script. Together, they were brilliant.” (The American Puppetry Journal USA 1999)
"Rich visual scenes... You are trapped by infinite pleasure" Schwerin Zeitung (Germany 1995)
