Song of the Goat Theatre has long been recognized as one of the most distinctive ensembles of contemporary Polish theatre. It develops its own artistic language based on the so-called coordination technique, which combines work with the body, voice and text into one, coherent structure. Each production emerges as a result of prolonged research and experimentation, giving it an individual character.

Critics describe this as a moment when "emotions overflow their banks and flood the fields of spoken language expression".

Charles Dance, the renowned English Shakespearean actor, also known for his role as Lord Tywin Lannister in the series "Game of Thrones", after the performance in Washington said - "This is the most modern acting work I have seen in several decades"
