Reviews:

"Funny and altogether sad story a little bit about a family coming from different culture. A story that touches the audience".
MgA. Katerina Lešková-Dolenská - Senior Editor at LOUTKAR "Puppeteer" magazine

"Smooth Life is an interesting personal peep into somebody's life – life so different from our European experience, yet full of love, hope and expectations. Husam creates an atmosphere for all senses; therefore his solo is so impressive you want to participate even more".
MgA. Marta Ljubkova – pedagogue at DAMU - Prague

"What a powerful performance. I was impressed by the attention to details and choice of set design, the symbolisms used throughout the play (The rice to represent family members) the map, the circular approach, the natural material, found objects used in order to create the puppets. Husam tells his story in a very impactful way, while creating a very intimate, safe, and inviting experience for his audience.
I was moved by his personal story, his relationship with his father, its many different intertwined layers rooted and tied in with Historical facts. Again Which I thought was told with great perspective and respect for his audience. I felt totally transported. That sense of hope and resolved he gives despite such hardship transpires throughout his play. A very moving story, told in a beautiful way – rich in colors and flavors. A must experience".
Stephanie Filippi – Prologue to the Performing Arts – Toronto - Canada
