“Direction and acting are consistent and successful.”
Badische Zeitung, 9. 1. 2006
“At the end of the play, father and mother, like
slaughtered sacrificial animals, are heaved from the darkness
of the stage into a merciless cold light. They are floating
there between heaven and earth – battered to death
by their children. All these pictures are dazing, but
that’s the aim of Stephan Bruckmeier’s production
of the family tragedy “Feuergesicht” like
the production 5 1⁄2 years ago… Due to the
replacement of most of the five roles this reloaded production
gains even more brisance. In accordance to the script,
the two main characters Kurt and Olga are well interpreted
by the 16-year-old Jonathan Bruckmeier and the 19-year-old
Jenny Sittler.”
Stuttgarter Nachrichten, 9. 1. 2006
“The clash of the generations, which is the subject
of this play, is being doubled on the level of the actors:
the parents, whose individuality disappears behind the
routine of their social role, are played by the professional
actors Petra Weimer and Klaus Gramüller, whereas
their children, who still have to find their place (in
society) are real teenagers. Bruckmeier’s calculus
is successful: the two young actors have a different corporal
presence on stage and perform as if their lives depended
on that. Above all Jonathan Bruckmeier, who has just overcome
his change of voice. He embodies a “holy virginity
of insecurity” that also film director Pier Paolo
Passolini appreciated so much in his young amateur actors.
… Like Walhalla, the picture of an intact family
bursts into flames at the end of a thrilling night at
the theatre.”
Stuttgarter Zeitung, 9. 1. 2006
“This play by the very young author, which is terrifying
due to its consistency and is performed at many theatres,
experiences a convincing interpretation in this production.”
Rheinischer Merkur, 11. 8. 2000
