« She is small, she can play the clown as well as move you to tears. She’s often been compared to Chaplin. Dulcinea Langfelder takes a place apart in the dance-theatre landscape. » Suzanne Lévesque Le Devoir, 2002 « The tiny, clownish Langfelder will remind many of Giulietta Masina in one her greatest roles, that of Gelsomina in Fellini’s La Strada…. Once word gets around as to just what a delight Langfelder’s Victoria is, tickets are bound to be snapped up. » Myron Galloway, The Suburban, Montreal 2000 « I haven’t seen a fusion of performer and artifice so clean, so magical, well … ever. » Gaetan Charlevoix, The Montreal Hour, 2000 « A beautifully told, magnificently performed tour-de-force by a woman who should rightfully be known from coast to coast. Those who saw Victoria will never forget her. » Times Globe, St. John New Brunswick, 2000 « In this work, Dulcinea Langfelder takes on an almost impossible challenge…Her performance proves that there is no human situation that is not accessable to artistic intervention, as long as the artist approaches it with a true offering of herself. » Les Cahiers Jeu (Montreal drama review)1999 « A not-to-be-missed tale of death and dying handled with tenderness, respect and - believe it or not – humour as only Dulcinea Langfelder can …Teetering on the brink of physical and emotional impossibility, Victoria is her best work yet. » Linde Howe Beck, The Gazette, 1999 « Wow. It’s one of those works that you take like a punch: a punch in the gut; a love at first sight.» Journal de Montréal, 1999 « ... Sencillemente genial ... » La Jornada, Mexico 1995 «.. and Langfelder - now here's an artist with a firm grip on her medium. She's simply brillant.» Dance Connection, Calgary 1992 (last two quotes refer to The Lady Next Door) « A true optimist, she's made up some sort of philosophy to heal the wounds. Like Giulietta Masina in Fellini's La Strada she made fun of herself. Using tenderness as a weapon / tool, she provoked a reaction in our oyster-like hearts, who all opened up - with a POP! This sudden magic was forever unforgettable. » China Times, Taipei 1996 « The festival of New Dance was off to a great start with an absolutely stunning performance by Dulcinea Langfelder…No matter how you look at it, this is a beautifully put together, highly creative work which is at once funny and sad, and packs a wallop. » The Telegram, St. John’s Newfoundland 1996 (last two quotes refer to Portrait of a Woman with Suitcase)
