Steinar Wiik, Maktkamp i mørke (literally: Power battle in the dark), 05.01.1990, Aftenposten [Oslo]:
"Here, the power play between the two and the one finds a many-faceted, subtle expression. During the whole of the performance the stage lies half dark, both disturbing and alluring, and lit candles all over contribute to the increased intimacy of the performance. [..] The strong visual characteristics of the performance make it easy to understand, also if one doesn't master Polish."
