Reviews

“Fascinating lecture art: Ernst Pilick as Grand Inquisitor : Pilick plays and speaks with tone, facial expressions and gestures that get under the skin, changing several times in fine gradations from the haughty style of the accuser to tearful, opinionated emotion. A masterpiece of monological and scenic performance art, illuminating and charged with tension. "

- Eckehard Uhlig

“Just as a great musician never plays the sheet music for his solos, absolute textual certainty in every role was a must for him. He was and is an excellent speaker as well as a versatile performer, who is able to cast a spell over his audience as a spectator. ... His illustrious language and his brilliant vocabulary gain brilliance through well-thought-out onomatopoeia and difficultly increased volumes ... "

- Ellen Ruhnau : on Pilick's program Humor as Medicine

"... in a virtuoso one-man show, Ernst Pilick recited by heart, without slip of the tongue, without even looking at a manuscript."

- Eva Filitz : about Pilick's program Heinrich Heine: Atta Troll
