 “Christine Umpfenbach succeeds in creating a captivating visual condensation of the text. The reduced corner of a Bavarian house serves as a surface for acting as well as video projection, while a simplified wooden car frame acts as a control center for the photos and videos that are projected onto the white surfaces of the set like memories. In the contrast between current color videos from Feldafing, black-and-white photographs, and actors reenacting, for example, the physical training poses of the students at the Reich School, the past comes alive in the immediate stage presence. That is the power of theater.”

Christian Jooß-Bernau, “Süddeutsche Zeitung”, 31.10.2025
