Review quote:

"Go and see!"

"Wild Dogs" is based on the novel "Donkey Summer" by the Spanish author Andrea Abreu. In Eva-Maria Benavente Dahlin's dramatization, it becomes a rapturous and enjoyably vulgar play about being in the state between child and adult."

"The only actor in the production is the wonderful Frida Beckman, who gives the two dolls unique personalities.""[...] despite all the darkness, this is a fun play! The jargon is invigorating, the girls' actions completely absurdly stupid but also completely logical. Everything is constantly on the edge. And even though the plot is driven forward by two dirty dolls without facial expressions, it is easy to imagine the foggy, dirty landscape they move in. Their feelings and thoughts, their shame and desire. When the performance is over, flowers are handed out after all. Everyone involved deserves all the roses they can get."

-Sara Berg, Sydsvenskan

"The book [Åsnesommar] has now been dramatized into "Wildhundar" and has become a magically intense depiction at Malmö Puppet Theatre under the direction of Agnes Rosenberg. On stage there is only one actor, Frida Beckman, who in tight, focused play brings to life an ensemble of puppet characters entangled in a culturally and socially paralyzing environment."

"The staging uses simple means to convey how people, animals, earth and nature are deeply intertwined. Isora and Shit are not unlike the wild dogs in papier maché that frolic around and whose barking we hear on top of Anna Sóley Tryggvadottír's suggestive compositions."

"Frida Beckman is empathetic, cheeky and hilarious."

- Theresa Benér, Swedish Democratic Party

"The exquisite Frida Beckman plays every role in this gem about two girls in their early teens who eat with their hands, burp, vomit and run around the village like wild dogs." "Anyone who thinks that girls in their early teens can't carry demonic powers hasn't seen these dolls masturbate until a raging volcanic eruption."

- Kristina Lindquist, DN

"It is poignantly beautiful to see Wild Dogs. The performance as a whole leaves me richer in what it means to be a friend and to grow up. There is a weight to this production that does not feel forced or exaggerated. The performance is more than two hours long but it feels like a few minutes. You will not regret seeing Wild Dogs by Malmö Puppet Theatre."

- Dante Wiechel, Kulturbloggen

"Portraying this eruption of girls' emotions and life-changing situations is difficult – but Malmö Dockteater has succeeded in something extraordinary, again."

- Margareta Flygt, The Worker
