"What Kemmann and Aidu stage here is an artistic audacity. Fabiane Kemmann's work shows one thing above all: that theatre and history are processes of experience, that the first step can help us with the second if we want to remember." Erik Zielke, The Chorus of History, Neues Deutschland 2022
"Kemmann has succeeded in clearly working out the various aspects of the two cantata works while still creating an imposing overall impression appropriate to the works. Contradictions are not levelled, the search is for the open, for a rejection of all that is finished, all that petrifies thought.“ Klaus Völker, Fabiane Kemmanns The Decision at the Berlin Philharmonic Hall, Eisler Mitteilungen No. 73, 2022
