Critiques
Nijinsky
“Kota Sato absolutely stole the show (and more than a few hearts) as both the Golden Slave and the Faun, dancing with dazzling athleticism and almost scandalous sensuality, all bedroom eyes and supple hips.”
– ArtsFile.ca
La Veuve joyeuse
“Kota Sato as the lead Pontevedrian dancer… his whiz kid technique is right up there with Russian classical pyrotechnics…”
— Ludwig Van Toronto
Anna Karenina
“Kota Sato is the Mushik, or peasant, a railway worker whose death Anna witnesses. Neumeier has him weave in and out of the ballet, performing slow, twisted movement as an ever-present symbol of death, and Sato is impressive in the role.”
— Ludwig Van Toronto
