The critics described it as Staging of the breath (Bla* Lukan), Sonata for a Silence that dose not exist (®enja Leiler), The Power of Scenographic Poetry (Marija Grgièeviæ), The Challenge of Gesture (Dubravka Vrgoæ), Silence bears within itself The Rage of the Universe (Mariangela Alves de Lima), Perfection of Theatrical Performance (Lilijana Mazova).

The performance is constructed as a dramaturgical journey of five sequences through a mixed space-time cosmology, which by means of highly aestetical, lyrical and atmospheric stenography gradually slides through the depth of the stage space to the "final" (but at the end demolished) wall.

(Delo, Ljubljana)

Taufer allows no rest in the dark scenes which weight on the shadowy colors of the subjects. The figures alight on obstacles in their movements, they drag behind them or lift heavy objects, their space is restricted by walls. The contracting of the actor's muscles seems physical suffering and is transmitted to the audience. Only a complete and final victory over the space brings us relief. The gradual flight from the cells within this closed universe signifies victory.

(O Estado de Sao Paulo, Brazil)

Silence Silence Silence goes far beyond physical expression, it is a proper dance performance of immense plastic complexity, with a strong inner dramaturgy. In five scenes in which muscular tension has to act both as form and meaning, the director Vito Taufer achieved an unusual balance and a moving plastic clarity. The Slovenian Mladinsko Theatre boasts with a remarkable technical level as well - experimenting with fantastic elements of black theater elevated into surrealism and fused with the brutality and experimental heritage introduced from the East in the late eighties (Kantor, Grotowski). An expressive performance, deeply marked with neoexpressionist dance, centered towards total art, serious and deep.

(Roger Salas, El país, Nov 3rd 1998, Madrid, Spain)
