Rush of images and desires – “Quartett zum Quadrat” is a material battle with all the means of modern theatre. […] The premiere audience on Thursday in the sold-out Radialsystem celebrated the ensemble – and with it the explosion of creativity that swept over them for almost two and a half hours […] Nico and the Navigators turn Heiner Müller’s play in the Radialsystem into a furious stage hurricane […] more of it!

The lie as a tried and tested means of political communication already appeared there in all conceivable manifestations; in ‘The whole Truth about Lies’, an eclectic and ecstatic evening of music theatre, it takes centre stage – with a wide cultural-historical focal range, but always with reference to the present… A clever, multi-layered evening well worth seeing.

…one of the more interesting theatrical contributions to the current political moment… The play’s strength lies precisely in not falling back on familiar tropes about the rise of fascism, but looking closely at what populists in power actually do.

A pulsating dialogue between stage and music that remains true to the work’s inner tension […] In a sold-out Radialsystem, this intense, multilayered performance rightly concluded with enthusiastic applause.

Whether paintings, books, pieces of music or dance performances – the number of works of art created with the help of artificial intelligence is growing. Many artists are exploiting the creative potential of AI systems. But many are also afraid of it.

Friederike Walch-Nasseri and Mortz Metz discuss some examples in their podcast ‘Understanding AI.’ Moritz Metz talks about the use of AI in the production he attended, ‘The Whole Truth About Lies’ – an excerpt from the conversation.

Oliver Proske, one of the leading figures behind the digital and music theatre innovators Nico and the Navigators, presented his collective’s “AI Mirror” at the opening of the Science and Theatre Festival in Heilbronn.
