Reviews

“Yumi Umiumare was not animal on the stage, on the contrary, she seemed like a deformed human being. As with Kitt Johnson, they both posses the ability to make their extreme bodies disappear and transform into Butoh power. Or to make the earth disappear. ..”
Anne Middlelboe Christensen – Information, Copenhagen
