Nova Makedonija newspaper [23.09.2014]:
"Each of the 10 young actors brought a different aspect of the Ellen
Stewart’s character: her joy, her passion, her cheerful humor, her fight
against the racial discrimination, everything for the purpose of
creating a world of theater, which continues to be a lighthouse of the
artists throughout the world. That’s how, in the overcrowded hall of the
cinema “Frosina”, the present audience met the eternal spirit of Ellen
Stewart."

"The
young actors from New York, easily won the sympathies of the audience.
Their wonderful voices, the simplicity in their approach, the
unpretentious compositions, the recorded videos of Ellen Stewart, the
countless photos and historical facts of the theater La MaMa create a
musical performance that is based on the spirit of the theater, and yet
it reveals the fantastic qualities of
the young performers. It would be pretentious to say that this
performance is a spectacle – because it is one of the most subtle and
spiritual performances ever played on this stage."
Globus Magazine [23.09.2014] written by Ljiljana Mazova:
"La MaMa and Ellen Stewart I’ve seen many times. In different
destinations. Always as a form of attraction which presents the power of
the theater to change the world… This time, in “Cantata” it is wrapped,
armed, sang and danced as a story that vividly, through words, photos
and music, and an excellent group of actors/singers takes us on a
trip inside our souls, in the past times as well as the times that
come. They bring out views that we recognize, with well-known characters
that on this or that way – triggered the need in Ellen to bring
changes."
