"The direction of the premiere is in the hands of Dirk Schattner and Benjamin Sahler. Anna Martens, who also whirls across the stage as Kunterbunt, studied a rousing choreography for this stage spectacle with the dancers".  (Merkur.de, 25.10.22)

 

"There is much applause at the premiere. Besides the music, a sophisticated choreography makes it a pleasure. And it is always a matter of death or life.

Sophisticated dance interludes round off the enjoyment also for the audience, who until then might not have known so much about the constantly moving life of Friedensreich Hundertwasser...

As a cheerful "Kunterbunt", for example, who accompanied Hundertwasser as a constant inspiration. It is embodied by Anna Martens, who makes the play a visual delight not only in this role, but also with attractive choreographies". (Allgäuer Zeitung, 30.10.22, Markus Röck)

 

"...Hundertwasser's longest and dearest companion is the mute muse "Kunterbunt", who is stroked awake at the beginning with a large brush (no sexual allusion) for the dance - as light as a feather and perky as the dancer (and dance-captain) Anna Martens flows around him in a blossom bonnet and dungarees, one understands why". (süddeutsche Zeitung, 01.11.22, Michael Zirnstein)

 

"HUNDERTWASSER's muse "Kunterbunt" - Anna Martens had the most difficult role for us. This creature does not speak a single word in the play. She has to express her role as a unity of nature and man come to life only through movement, gestures, facial expressions and dance. A balancing act that Anna Martens succeeded in 150%. Her charisma said more than a thousand words". (Passion Musical, 01.11.22, Ines Marquardt)

 

"The dances are a feast for the eyes - the musical is always in motion, not only when Felix Martin, who trained at the world-famous Max Reinhardt Seminar in the Austrian capital, steers through the sea with musical accompaniment in the ship he has christened "Regentag"." (Kreisbote Füssen, 31.10.22/Translator (free version)
