"The
production confirms that Monica Herstad’s performance
language contains groundbreaking artistic qualities"
-Grete Indal, now representing The Arts Council, earlier she served as a critics in Klassekampen, 1999
"High quality dance performance. Ms.Herstads multiartistic
project and it´s convincing strength, confirms itself
as a vivid installation, a performancework of rare substance
Ms.Herstad`s organization of all the elements is impressing,
it is urban, but also something else, a melancholic, yet a
breathing organism
A state of mind, under the concrete, under the skin,
deep down in earth, inside the feet, you become aware"
-Inger Margrethe Lunde, now President of The Norwegian Playwrights´ Association, earlier journalist in Dagsavisen, 1999
"Now, wherever I go I learn about butoh-influenced dance
and theater; in Canada, the United States, Britain, France,
Germany, Brazil
and most recently the [international], Butohinspired
group of Monica Emilie Herstad
Susannah Akerlund carries
on the tradition in Sweden and San Fransisco hosts an annual international
butoh festival through d-net"
Professor at New York
State University, Sondra Horton Fraleigh, in her book Dancing into
Darkness, Pittsburgh University Press, 1999
