Pressvoices:
„In Berlin I experienced something you wouldn’t believe“. ... The gender boundaries are becoming more diffuse...The bald headed Berliner Bridge Markland is on her best way there...as travestie-chameleon in her stage performances, she turns any gender cliché upside down...“
Der Spiegel, Hamburg
”When she puts her work costumes in order, she has double work to do: on one side the sexy dresses, on the other side men’s costumes and ties. This is the idea behind Bridge Marklands' one woman show…. Or should we say one mans' show?” Kyriakatikh eleftherotypia, Athens
„...really breathtaking is the moment, when the…society bitch reveals her true medusa head.“
Neues Deutschland, Berlin
„...a strong study of female and male body language.“ Münchner Merkur, Munich
"The androgynous power-girl Bridge appears‚ licking and sitting in the laps of her... audience... Performing a marvellous playback-version of James Browns <It's a man's world>. " Independent, London
