PRESS - REACTIONS:

"The tangomania breaks out in Prague."

(Radio Prague)

 

"A wonderful combination between drama and dance."
(Hospordarske Noviny)

 

 

"The actor and playwright Buchsteiner writes concrete and powerful dialogues (...) director Petr Svojtka creates an effective atmosphere, including the intimate scenes - and the actors bring maximum energy into their roles." 

(Lidové Noviny)

 

 

 

 

"A brilliant farce of vanities, sensibilities and the incability to accept real relationships to real human beings. Tango Sólo - the dance with yourself."

(Tango Danza)

 

"The original title "Anonymous tangoholics" expresses exactly the absolute tango-devotion als a philosophy of live."

(Pravó)

 

"The play is extremly good. Like Buchsteiner's first play "Spieler" (Players).

(Thalia Theater Playwright Competion 2003, Final Round, No 6 out of 128 plays)

"Egocentric one fighter in a single society cold as ice. Sense and self-affirmation they get only via quick sex and by abasing other people. Everybody fights against everybody – like in Moritz Rinke's Republik Vineta and Marius von Mayenburg's Parasiten." 
(Neues Deutschland)

"The debut of a playwright, whose text shows, apart from the scenic quality, an extreme poetic power. Buchsteiner's play reminds to Heiner Müller's Quartett."
(Ostsee-Zeitung)

"The story is about money, sex and violence. The Volkstheater Rostock opens tonight with the excessive-provoking "Players" by Torsten Buchsteiner."
(Bild Rostock)

"Players - a highlight in theatre Rostock. (...) But a politic from SPD Party announced, you should not present such a violent play to the audience." 
(Nordkurier Neubrandenburg)

Torsten Buchsteiner wrote the short drama "Died for germany" and directed himself the monolog with the actress Julia Nehmiz.

Press review:

"On the big stage it's time for change of roles: The audience sits on the stage and the actress Julia Nehmiz is in between the seats like in front of court. She murdered her child in a insane reflex, after her husband, a K-FOR soldier on the balcan, deserted to commit suicide. Exactly this in Torsten Buchsteiners text "Died for germany" is too much over the top."
(Wilhelm Triebold, Schwäbisches Tagblatt, 05.10.2002)
