"In The Red was a performance of rare depth and integrity."
Reanna Alder ~ Marlet, Victoria BC

"Anfield and Bergsma, two shining examples of male pulchritude from their bald heads to their well-conditioned physiques, used the glacial slowness and immense physical control of butoh to explore West Coast themes in In The Red (WT: V)."
Paula Citron ~ Globe & Mail

"Do not let anyone tell you that butoh is not beautiful: this exquisite little piece [The Narthex] proves otherwise."
Deborah Meyers ~ Vancouver Sun

"Anfield and Bergsma's lumbering movements are infused with captivating energy. Set to the jarring sounds of Butoh-A-Go-Go's original multi-instrumental score, Monkey's Mask is as deceptively simple as the haikus of the Japanese poet Basho, on which it's based."
Kelsey Dundon ~ Vancouver Georgia Straight

"The success of the Canadian duet "Butoh-A-Go-Go" could only be envied. These homunculuses, dressed as sumo wrestlers, found in their version of Japanese Butoh dancing something closest to its true ethic. Not for them the improbable and unthinking but still ever-popular flirtation with homoeroticism [which marks Butoh] in the Russian latitudes, rather, against the background of the countless ragout of possible male and female Butoh forms, the Canadian style showed itself to be a meaningful and strong version."
