"Jean-François Casabonne and Véronique Marchand, obviously complicit in the way they play, do justice to the writing [...]. Notes from the Journey Home is in fact an accessible, simple, yet very efficient piece of work." "The use of multimedia and Noëlla Huet’s operatic voice give the play even more poignancy, more
truthfulness. Notes from the Journey Home will touch anyone who has ever acted, loved or travelled." "[Michel] Robidoux’s compositions and finds are particularly touching and eloquent." "The four co-creators [...] made brilliant use of computer graphics to make Carnets de Voyages into a fascinating travelogue as well as a poetic mind trip." "The screen waltz, which is sometimes the field play of the actors, as well as the transparencies and the superimpositions, give an incredible depth to the stage. This way, the recalls of Verona, San Jose (Costa Rica), Beijing and Madrid take a dreamy dimension. [...] The inventive use of light combined with large images echoing the sound samplings taken through the years give great evocative potency to Normand Canac-Marquis’s words." ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Gazette, Montreal, Canada, 2008
