„The plays of the aktionstheater ensemble are cult. Fast, boldly, political (…) the quality of the text work is exceptional.“

„For long sections, the dialogues take on the appearance of a conglomerate of the young Elfriede Jelinek of Liebhaberinnen and Thomas Bernhard.“

„For decades, the theatremaker Martin Gruber and his aktionstheater ensemble have become a reliable seismograph of socio-political shifts and fractures.“

„Director Martin Gruber sees himself with his aktionstheater ensemble as a rapid reaction force, what burns under the nails belongs on the stage. That’s how strong, gripping theatre with its finger on the pulse of time was created.“

„Gruber makes political theater that, after years of post-dramatic constructs, brings the basic concepts of the real back onto the stage, while operating in a highly condensed aesthetic manner. (…) One really wants to see more of Gruber’s troupe.“

„One of the best ensembles in Austria.“
