"the artists have rediscovered faith in something all too inaccessible in our feeling-impoverished, quick-paced existence: shelter, warmth, trust. Something in the words of Ernst Bloch, "which everybody seems to know from childhood, but where no one ever was: 'Home.'"

--Elfi Kreis, May 31, 1995 (Art critic for Kunstforum / TAGESSPIEGEL

"An impressively versatile combination of talents results in an interesting, at times strangely touching, new audio-visual installation, "Room-Opera II," by European visual artist Nina Goede and American composer Daniel Werts…"

--Joseph Merkel, Artspeak--October, 1995

"…the sensitive installation leads the viewer along a trail of quite dramatic ideas."

--Brigitte Werneburg, die tageszeitung, Berlin May 14, 1995.

"...an impressive installation of sound, video and projections. …traversing different stages of processing, from realism to full abstraction, Goede's images wash over a snow-white mountain of crumpled paper in an emotionally penetrating play of light and shadow."

"…confronting the themes of identity, home and roots, Goede's images transport the viewer to inner spaces that defy verbal description."

--Katarina Bettina Mueller, TIP (Berlin), May 10, 1994

"…sound, color, light and physical gesture seek the specificity of feeling that the rational and the verbal can only imply."

--Bernard Holland, The New York Times, December 22, 1990

"…the absolute high point of the evening…Nina Goede shaped her material with great dramatic precision; her near transcendent emotion kept the audience spellbound…"

--die tageszeitung (Berlin), May 22, 1989

"…a quite entertaining evening…the extremely effective scenery and costumes are constructed with a feeling for style…Macbeth-Play I successfully captures the high-tensioned and neurotically dramatic atmosphere of Shakespeare's tragedy…"

--Berlin Morgenpost, May 28, 1991.

"magical like an ancient incantation transmuted by high tech, the piece breathes magic…"

--Bernadette Bost, Le Monde, Jund 20, 1986
