Review: Butoh/Cabaret
“DasShoku SHAKE! (by Yumi Umiumare) immerses us in an extreme state in which people have experienced the unimaginable. The butoh-trained performers are compelling. When they shake from their core they seem almost inhuman.”

Dance review: Dasshoku Shake!
“Detonating both the orientalist view of Japan and Japan's view of itself, Umiumare gives our city an extraordinary, hilarious and actually beautiful gift.”
