"... universal appeal. The relatively small orchestra ... gave forth a full sound as the entire ensemble etched pictures that were now rustic, now sophisticated, in delineating the communal journey of nomads."

"... entirely contemporary, even trendy, as its rhythmic patterns drew attention to the formal aspects of authentic folk traditions. This kind of "fakelore", in which traditional elements blend with original material, and in which the choreographer's imagination reshapes ritual as art, is an important aspect of postmodern discourse....A nostalgic air permeated the dance. a sad ending, implying not only the displacement of a community (such as occurs during a war), but also perhaps the end of childhood, and the way in which folk cultures are vanishing around the globe ... richly evocative while using very simple movement."
-Robert Johnson, Metrobeat
