“Côté’s choreography leaned heavily on balletic athleticism — turns, jumps, lifts, extensions — used purposefully, it must be said, not simply to impress.”
– Victor Swoboda, Dance International

“Two hours of pure enchantment, set in a time space where emotion, ritual and metaphor take over, offering a whole new dimension to Hamlet without ever distorting its meaning.”
– Sylvie St-Jacques, Jeu, revue de théâtre

“We are witnessing something that will go down in history. A two-hour show of non-stop extraordinary intensity. The cast is fabulous. The staging is brilliant, the choreography magnificent.”
– Carole Trempe, Journal des citoyens
