criticism
“A piece that lets the listener fall into a hole - into the bottomless, disgusting cruelty of man-eating people. That confronts us with the babbling self of Europe. A text that reshapes the horrors of the real and creates distance through its grotesque humor by creating an aesthetic tension to a superficial concern. The work tears open spaces between poetic suggestion, horror and emotion. In these we recognize the great challenges in dealing with perpetrators who are guilty of incredible crimes against humanity. (...) A piece that attacks us almost physically. "
From the jury's statement for the German Radio Play Prize of ARD 2018 for the bride's shoes
"Magda Woitzuck's talent to describe a love triangle so vividly and, above all, so excitingly, gives hope for further nice surprises, because this novel is one of the most impressive depictions of love of this book year, and that is due to the language, the ostensible calm, the voice of the young Austrian. "
From a review of the novel Above All Was Light , published in Spektrum, Die Presse, August 13, 2015
