...The name "music-theater" is a misnomer; better would be theater-performance, subtly supported by video and packed with catchwords like God, enlightenment, individuality, the masses. With a rock band providing hard hitting interruptions, as well as a wonderful, velvety brass choir in the background...

...the music, that Ari Benjamin Meyers wrote based on Wagner motives for a trombone choir hidden backstage, provided moments of real excitement.
Martin Hatzius, Neues Deutschland

...The trombone choir takes on the role of a virus and tells its own story moving from behind the stage to the front, until all 23 musicians are completely at the edge of the stage and threaten to blow the audience's brains out of their heads. This is the first HAU produced production where one really is sad that it will not be in the permanent repertory.
Eva Behrendt, Theater Heute
