Long applause - for the convincing actors and director Torsten Krug.

Chemnitz morning post
The piece (...) leads into the deep abysses of human discord with deadly serious, pitch-black humor. On the evening of the premiere on Friday in the Chemnitz theater, a cascade of curses and depravity, depravity and hopelessness rages across the stage that one shudders. (...) But: The madness has a system. (...) Torsten Krug, who is directing the play, and his actors (...) took the excess at its word.

Chemnitz Free Press
And somehow this lonely West also has a lot of the East that actually exists: It is a place where dreams have been lost, where indifference grows between hatred and powerlessness. (...)
The way Torsten Krug stages the crude story, the brawling and drinking soon seems so absurd that it sometimes resembles a comic strip. With situations that seem unbelievable. With extremely striking types that do not develop, at most disguise. But they even get heart-rending sides from the rough togetherness. And yet it remains a strange pleasure to watch them.
