"Vargas rattles those hills with a bravura
macho flourish."
Sydney: Sydney Morning Herald, Oct 1,

"Riveting flamenco...
An intensely focused performer,
(Vargas) can make even minimal
movement more expressive than
text... a triumph of acting as
much it is of dancing."
Wellington: The Evening Post, Nov 16
2001

"Flamenco invigorates...
Dramatic performance ... in the
modern idiom (…), dance of passion."
Wellington: The Dominion, Nov 16, 2001

"Antonio Vargas is the embodiment
of the masculine
principle, exhibiting the
self-control of the virtuoso
flamenco dancer... he
dances with such volcanic
energy ... (his) fancy
footwork ... is an education."
Dunedin: Listener, Apr 6, 2002

"...his lunges
cocked tight like a drawn
bow, his crossover footwork
sewn like perfect
stitches, his turns knifeedge
smooth."
