"You're about to watch and listen to an extract of a long-term project
- or rather an endless project, a lifetime project. 'ICH' is work in progress.
It was work in progress yesterday, it is work in progress today, and it still
will be work in progress tomorrow and in the nearby future. The work on "ICH" has
no beginning and no end."
"That's the way!" (Frankfurter Rundschau)
"Enthralling reflection about national identity, historical and topological
ancestry" (Der Standard)
"Inventive and clever: an entanglement of voices and sounds; a drama
without a play." (Kronen Zeitung)
