Open Throat (Little Island)
Qweerty “… the breakout star is Steven Wendt, who performs live foley (sound effects) and shadow puppets to accentuate Hoke’s text. ” – Matthew Wexler
This & That (New York)
The New Yorker “Wendt also seems animated by a “let’s see what I can do” spirit, impressed by the simple, childish pleasure of making a rippling ocean by flexing his fingers. I found it utterly, blissfully, completely restful.” – Helen Shaw
Interludes “I found the artistry of Mr. Wendt’s empathetic puppet work to be surprisingly sophisticated and deeply soulful,” – Drediman
New York Times “A welcome breath of strangeness,”

Libération “Phil Soltanoff and performer and puppeteer Steven Wendt invent curious fractal landscapes, close to kinetic art, by manipulating cameras and projectors, before the latter’s agile fingers compose a tribute to shadow theatre referring to the dawn of time, through a symphony of characters, sometimes courting a sweetheart, sometimes struggling in a stormy sea.“
