“[Lang] impresses by the range of dynamics, the urge of onrushing movement in ever-changing and surprising group formations and has me spellbound with the sheer beauty of her ambitious form of dance theatre.”

- Henning Rübsam, Dance For You! Magazine, May, 2006

 

“Senbazuru occasionally has the look of a Robert Wilson production, with the always-competent singers on elevated platforms and a dramatic use of color.”
