Premiere: Anna Karenina



The play by Thomas Bernhard celebrated on 10.07.2010 premiere iron hand.




Here are the first reviews:


Milli Hornegger, OÖ Kronenzeitung
Karl and Robert, they could "Sunshine Boys" by Thomas Bernhard are. In the Linz iron hand was on Thursday first - and was warmly applauded, rightly and intense. Habich and Sotk have the grumpy Bernard joke and clearly audible pleasure. Director Uwe Lohr led both amusing two hours through a comedy of age (n) s: It was fun to Bernhard, to Habib, of Sotk (despite the real Back pain continued to play heroic)!

A warm recommendation for a visit to the iron hand!

Lohr director can grant the two actors to act out her mimic potential and structured in particular among the scenes. Andreas Hutter, New People's Journal

"Appearances are deceptive" is a funny mono-and dialogue with serious undertones, a typical for Bernhard, but not a very exciting piece, and therefore rarely performed. If it is still necessary, it takes two ordinary characters, on the Linz State Theatre fortunately has: Vasilij Sotk makes as an intellectual ex-juggler in the stage under her husband home to his home, the piece to his playground, his very own Bernard language idiom. Robert always something of a grumpy-looking Sven-Christian Habich sees itself forced more to comedy without words, the star of the stage wins in the state from anxiety but some delicious facets.

Christian Schacherriter, OÖN

A young director has some rather Radical risks. He has a great author, a strong stage text and two wonderful actors simply familiar. The example that was on Thursday at the Linz iron hand the premiere of Thomas Bernhard's two-man play "The deceptive appearance" is recommended for imitation.

This makes the original, illuminating the appeal of this drama, and this characteristic is the careful, intelligent, unpretentious production by Uwe Lohr in every respect.
With slapstick effects, Bernhard offers himself in his stage directions, Lohr goes to moderate. It is also a convincing decision, the stage is essentially to Bernard's requirements set (Ágnes Ilona Tomor). This delicate chamber piece drama does not need flash effects. "Appearances are deceptive" stands or falls with the right actors. With Vasilij Sotk (Karl) and Sven-Christian Habich (Robert) you found the right one. With admirable sense for nuances and overtones, they give the ambivalent relationship brother convincing contours, and they dominate in tone, gesture and facial expression the art of unbroken border traffic between the style of documents: from comic to tragic and back again.
