Reviews (selection)

( HeldenHaft ) "... a wonderfully disrespectful settlement with our real comic world (...) Here Schlender creates the little miracle, with a language that uses the whole register of artificial pomping to unmask between show-off jargon, authority phrases and piqued whispering consistently bypassing pedagogically impeccable tone of voice. ”Bernd Noack, Giants in Feinripp , Theater heute , March 2004

“( Rosy times ) is a sadly laconic piece that Katharina Schlender wrote there, with a painful look at the present, which the joke of an apparently simple artificial language helps not only to mop up. Great seriousness, paired with a fine sense for the right dose of black powder, puns and clever language turning ... “Christine Dössel, Everyone is the blacksmith of their misfortunes - the sweep of lonely hearts , Süddeutsche Zeitung , April 12, 2005

( rosy times ) "Schlender holds up an ultra-black mirror to the obsessive optimism widespread in politics and advertising of our days by not accepting a half-hearted, soothing“ will be again ”or“ you just have to tackle it properly ”. Her vehement Weltschmerz is not resignation, but provocation, a weapon in a time in which there is a constant demand to talk about catastrophes nicely and to understand crises as an opportunity ... "Silvia Stammen, Tristesse totale , Theater heute , July 2005

( Vermouth ) “The few stories that can be told are dripping with alcohol, unemployment, abuse, meaninglessness. The playwright, born in 1977, prevents the humid climate of dismay that could trigger such an environment, on the one hand with a concise artificial language that never loses contact with the ground, and on the other hand formally by applying wormwood as morality. "Kirsten Wächter, Das Stück Mensch muss weg - Murder as a foundation for meaning , Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung , March 22, 2005

( The satisfied ) “Kurt is an absurdity and a symbolic figure for art: the utopian, the purposeless. This is what makes this piece so sophisticated ... An art Kurt who is unobtrusively unfathomable. He tears around himself a lot of comprehensibility holes, into which Wirnitzer lets the figures plop down effectively ... How fresh it becomes in your brain and heart! ”Dirk Pilz, Wie Terror geht , Berliner Zeitung , April 1st, 2008

( The Satisfied ) “The piece, which is as fabulous as it is fabulous, is a farce and, above all, it is an experimental arrangement, Kurt lets all the other characters collide, because it is a living provocation for everyone ... It is like that in its Schweikian calm and poise sympathetic, even if it can't actually be true that someone is so satisfied, without desires, but also without hopes, even visions. The joke is, and that is the quality of the play, that you never lose sympathy for this Kurt… ” Martin Linzer , Metarmophosen or Easter Faust in a pack of three , Theater der Zeit , May 2008
