«Papier Mache’s sound concept was designed and performed by composer Simona Markevich " and she herself and immediately the sound was part of stage matter: the sound remote, usually hidden from the eye of the audience, was placed here at the left edge of the stage, close to the viewers, and it was often more interesting to observe the appearance and transformation of the sound than the dance.»

«As the papier-mache suggests, the sound idea is, on the one hand, strong enough and firm enough, and, on the other hand, is based on fragile paper material, more specifically, its crisp shrubbing, as well as the knocking of beads on each other or a stone on the sink. Simone extracts sounds from this set of objects under the microphone, which is connected to the laptop, and immediately, using a special software, puts various special effects on the sound: reinforcing, distorting, blowing, rhythmic, vague, and so on. In the finals, the sound is so distorted that the breaking paper is transformed into thunderstorms and the burrowing leaf into the noise of heavy rain.» Media «Balet», author of the review «Changing Places» by Anastasia Glukhov.
