  10. ↑ "Oedipus auf Kolonos": No trace of love Performance review in: Münchner Merkur from September 28, 2007: Stephan Bissmeier, the minimalist that has often been vaunted here, now seems to have been thrown back on himself again. He only indicates the blindness subtly. Quietly, sometimes just mumbling the sentences, it is as if he were pulling them out of his deepest soul. Sometimes he lets the high note of the Attic tragedy and its rhythm of speech sound like a quote. Now and then he cannot deny himself the attitude of the former ruler. And his outbursts of anger have something of the violence of an internal earthquake. This actor is never vain for a moment, he never shows off. Bissmeier does not play. And is true.
  11. ↑ Departure into the black void. Performance review at Deutschlandradio Kultur on September 27, 2007: Stephan Bissmeier has always been a master at underplaying his roles. His monotonous style could almost be called boring, if he did not always succeed in generating maximum expressiveness in a fascinating way with minimal modulation. This unmistakable, reduced Bissmeier tone also characterizes his Oedipus. But his body language is almost extroverted: Bissmeier plays Oedipus as a broken old man, grumbling, biting his nails, nervously wringing his hands, shaky. A tremor shakes the whole body when it is excited. He then only spits out words and sentences in bits and pieces. The whole long, lean person: a single contortion. A wreck.
