At the webpage of Black Box Teater the following, among other things, is written about Hate Radio:
"In April, May and June 1994 approximately 800 000 to 1.000.000 Tutsis plus thousands of Hutus were killed in Rwanda. The measures used were simple: Machetes, clubs and pistols. But the most important tool for the genocide was the radio station Radio-TV-Libre des Mille Collines (RTLM).
'If you had looked for a simple and effective target in order to prevent the genocide in Rwanda', wrote American journalist Philip Gourevitch, 'the radio station RTLM would have been a good start'. With extreme cynicism the employees of the popular radio station had prepared the genocide for months. The schedule consisted of pop music, sport, political comments and mad, hateful calls for murder. The newest Congolese music and aggressive racist analyses fused into a sombre laboratory for racist ideology.
The project Hate Radio brings us to a reconstructed RTLM, which with its realist backdrop gives the audience the opportunity to feel how racism works close up and how people can be robbed of their own humanity."

Therese Bjørneboe, commentary article in Aftenposten after Theatertreffen 2012:
"Globalised language. This has been a trend at Theatertreffen the recent years, and one of the most powerful productions during the festival this year was Hate Radio by Swiss Milo Rau. This is a documentary production about the genocide in Rwanda, but it is also a reconstruction of the broadcasts from a radio station playing a determining role. RTLM functioned as a propaganda central, but the journalists and DJs were hipsters playing Nirvana. Hate Radio is about how words change meaning. It makes a deeply disturbing impression because the DJs operate with a globalised language shrinking the distance to the events."
