About All about Nothing:
"...Instead of inundating their audience with facts, pulk fiktion has developed a performance, whose charm and urgency are created between short re-enactments, projections, drawings, and music. (...) Even for adults, All about Nothing offers plenty of food for thought about the fact that some children start without a chance to escape a vicious cycle of poverty and social distress. ..."
- Kultur-Extra, Karoline Bendig, 09 October 2016
"... Based on research with children and youth, pulk fiktion has created a play which doesn't lift the moral pointing finger, but which, far from social romanticism and politicized victimhood, weaves original recordings and poetic scenes into a haunting reality..."
- Thomas Hag, Rheinische Post, 07 June 2016
"... Straight-lined and unagitated, {pulk fiktion} portrays the societal cynicism, that lays itself like a blanket over the children, turning them and their needs invisible... "
- Pamela Broszat, Neue Rheinische Zeitung 07 June 2016
"... Not just the young audience can marvel at how imaginative and nimble-footed directors Hannah Biedermann and Eva von Schweinitz tackle the theme of child poverty. ..."

About Conference of Essential Matters:
"... Humorously, well thought-out and clever, the theater and game creators test the concept of family, power relationships and trust. pulk fiktion creates a situation of conversation and negotation on eye-level. It's not assumed what children are interested in, instead they are included in a shared experience of decisionmaking, laughter and discussion..."
- Selection Jury WESTWIND Festival 2015
"...An exercise in democracy, of which Andreas Dorau once sang: "It never gets boring", and in this case it can also be a lot of fun. Depending on the group dynamic that develops in a safe space of possibility..."
- Christian Bos, Kölner Stadt-Anzeiger, 15 May 2015
"... pulk fiktion goes a decisive step further than their colleagues from Grips or Marabu Theater. Here, it's not about creating a political consciousness through watching a play that refers to the world outside. In "Conference of Essential Matters" the subject of discussion is inside of the theatrical space. Politics are enacted, in a safe framework it's allowed and encouraged to test, attempt, and shape.... With pulk fiktion the local children and youth theater scene has found its avant-guarde ..."
- Julian Gerhard, echtestheater.de, 03 June 2015
"...It's a table game in real life. These kinds of interactive productions are currently en vogue, although they often fail because they take themselves too seriously. The vibe of this conference is light and happy from the beginning... pulk fiktion is able to create something else with "Conference of Essential Matters": Getting to know and gage complete strangers very quickly."

About Private(i):
"If the future is anything like how the artists behind Private(i) predict it will be, the only way to protect our privacy will be to become hackers ourselves, creating glitches in the system that binds us."
