REVIEW: Bubble Schmeisis (Remixed) @ Summerhall Sauna Theatre

Not only is the literalisation of the sauna location a wonderful way to bring Cassenbaum’s words to life, but his exploration of community, naked vulnerability and the places that shape our identity are made increasingly immediate as we share the sauna experience together.
