Extracts from the press review

The Times
Patrix is so capable of transmitting energy, humour and emotion, that some have insisted he is more shaman than storyteller. It is true that there is something dreamlike about his material - as he sees it, his stories speak to "your inner world, a world composed not of logic but of images, feelings, intuitions, colours".
But, crucially, his personal stories also speak to your outer world, offering the uninitiated an open door into the world of folk tales - a world which may at first seem alien, but which has a profound sense of shared humanity, as meaningful now as ever.

Le Parisien
An extraordinary show, to be placed at once between everyone's two ears….Close your eyes, Abbi Patrix is telling a story.

Pariscope
Abbi Patrix, an actor and musician, seduces us completely on stage : he gives us to understand that we are the ones at The Ends of The World. A wonderful experience !

À nous Paris !
This marvellous teller of stories talks to us about the breath of our ancestors, the absurdity of the world… and the small stones of wonder that lie on the path of our own lives. What an artist !

Marianne
He works with words like a juggler, throwing up different influences in time and space. His way of playing with various references is magic.

Métro
The spoken word as a vehicle of dreams, the body as a mirror of the people he describes. … It would be a shame to miss such a bewitching and original moment.

Le Figaro
Abbi Patrix shares his universe with us : a traveller without frontiers or borders, a man who listens to other people and records their dreams.

Hebdoscope de Strasbourg
Abbi Patrix wanders from one story to another, amongst the multitude of incredible and wonderful tales he has collected from all over the world. If he invited us, we could easily follow him to the end of the world !

Dernières nouvelles d'Alsace
Playing with his words, his sanza and his drum, Abbi Patrix takes us To the Ends of the World : a moment of pure enjoyment.

Le Bien public
Abbi Patrix does not give us a banal account of events : he offers to take us on a real journey through different worlds and civilizations….But journeys always end, and Abbi Patrix gives us a parting gift : " These stories now belong to you, so tell them yourselves ! "

Les Échos
Abbi Patrix is one of the great figures of the new generation of story-tellers : both contemporary and eternal, both personal and open to other writers of legends. This is great art.

Webthea
Abbi Patrix is a magician, troubadour and showman all at once. With his sanza and his drum, he transmits stories full of philosophy, teaching, and the magic art of morals.

Le Journal du Dimanche
With his sanza and his drum, using his own special language or the words of african " griots ", Abbi Patrix helps the world go round. A beautiful way to invite us on a journey without limits.
