"I do collective devising theatre because it freely speaks for me, through me, about me, but only together with them. And they - the Reversing Door - are the reason I can't go to sleep. They are the reason I get up in the morning. They are my source of oxygen, and the tingling in my stomach. They are music and movement when my heart beats. They are a shared passion and orgasm. They are my family, my friends, my living dream.”

“Reversing Door are pretty sexy to me. Such malleable, creative and beautiful people who can be beautifully piggish and disgusting. It is a stage with comedians. It is a stinking sweat that smells great; probably like a person who lost his soul for art. It is a magnet that attracts and repels. It's a bar that's still alive. It's a never-ending DJ party, it's a family with open arms. It's a playful kid, it's emotional arguments; it is a well of opinions, thoughts, attitudes and life stories. And that's why they are sexy - thanks to these strong stories and the courage to say them out loud."

“For me, the Reversing Door are: an undetermined place with predetermined people; bruises and sweat; peppermint shot with lemon; theatre; stress and pleasure; love and passion; thinking over the world; fall asleep during continuous movement; hug without touching; šindelka forever; words, music, movement; potato dumplings with cabbage, which makes everyone sick; "bezé"; montenegro; cold river and jump into it; naked in the dark; fireflies in the water; microwave chicken; stomach-rumbling music; an insatiable desire to express ourselves."
