"Ariel Doron’s plastic world holds up a mirror to reality. Theatre with a powerful political message"
3sat Kulturzeit - Plastic Heroes
“Plastic Heroes is one of those little miracles only puppet and object theatre can produce: through apparent innocence and formal simplicity, it touches a nerve and stimulates emotion and intellect in a way that is anything but naive or simple.”
Leipziger Volkszeitung - Plastic Heroes
“In Boxed, Ariel Doron confirms his talent as an actor and as… a manipulator.”

“The young spectators become so absorbed in this theatre of things, that they forget where they are."

Abendzeitung München - Alarm in Petting Zoo
“That’s characteristic of Ariel Doron: the perfect play with everyday objects, which suddenly acquire a strangely magical significance.”
