“Umiumare [has] created a unique expression of Butoh that’s become part of Melbourne’s cultural currency.”

“The overall colourful effect is simultaneously striking and shocking. ”

“Yumi Umiumare and the ButohOUT! Ensemble elegenatly place, embrace, displace and reinstate their audience in and out of layered worlds from the box office till the bow.”

“Colour-Fool is a nightmare reflection on the strangeness of the times, but it is also, in its quieter moments, an earnest celebration of otherness and abnormality.”
