"Island may well be about a civilization that dies. A duet in which a woman attempts to communicate in gestures with a man who abandons her presages a group passage in the same vein. A ''sandwich'' of three men is expanded into a heap of bodies, leaving the women bereft of all their men. The eye will remember Mr. House's tribal figures - feet flexed, some on all fours - their grappling duets, their idol worship and walking totems. The medium is more important than the message in this case. How Mr. House says what he says is his strong suit." 

New York Times

"This concise, compelling dance suggests a distant memory of our ancient experience, reviewed in a troubled dream." 

Dance International

"...a magnetic work, full of fire and excitement."
