Jana Perkovic, true chaos: theatre at the limits, Real Time issue #110 aug-sept 2012 [Australia], http://www.realtimearts.net/article/110/10742:
"[...] a work of such admirable excess and courage that this review will now devote itself to it entirely. All of Berlin tried to get a ticket for what Twitter termed '9/11 of theatre - there is no way back'. Borkman was unlike anything I expect to see again soon, and its singularity more than made up for the homogeneity of the rest of Theatertreffen. [...] What I had until now only read about - theatre as communion - came to life, surprisingly, serendipitously, as Borkman used every technique of durational performance, but barred the audience from the usual cool, detached comforts of such performances: the right to stand, walk around, leave. [...] Borkman is by far the most exciting theatre work of the year."
