" ....Yumi Umiumare is excellent as the Old Crone who lives in the desert collecting bones."
THE AUSTRALIAN, OCTOBER. 2000 - (Martin Ball)
" .... All this is in contrast with a chanting madwoman (Yumi Umiumare) who prowls the sands, collecting whitened bones of the dead and nursing the bones of her children. The ensemble is very strong and the choral and movement basis for the style is evocative."
HERALD SUN THEATRE REVIEW, OCTOBER 2000 (Kate Herbert)
" ... Japanese born Umiumare is fascinating in this role. Trained in Butoh, she's an arresting figure as she stalks across the stage, muttering unintelligible words mixed with snatches of English. Her appearance, voice and detailed mannerisms produce an eerie figure who symbolises the effects of the conflict. It's a stunning performance which underpins the mood of the production."
