“The mix of self-irony, resilience, and silliness is delightful.”
Die Welt

“The art of the deal is a kind of therapy session for all of us – a relaxed way of confronting fears and the perceived loss of control with the tools of art. A captivating evening with many layers and hidden depths!”
Deutschlandfunk / Kultur heute

“A genuinely charming intertwining of illusion and reality.”
Deutschlandfunk Kultur

“The art of the deal is a wondrous theatre evening that takes so many twists and turns that it is a great joy to watch. Towards the end – this much may be revealed – the show turns into a dazzling musical, in which the two musicians (Kristina Koropecki and Moritz Bossmann) also rise to great form. What a wildly exuberant spectacle! Standing ovations.”
Westdeutsche Allgemeine Zeitung

“Walter Bart and his ensemble play with what is real and what could very well be. In the exaggerations, in the deliberate excess, the mechanisms of art and theatre are revealed on the one hand, but also those of a society and a politics that elevate the art of the deal to their sole principle. In this sense, Bart and the ensemble achieve an almost grandiose coup. They not only show how Trump and all those who follow him and his ideas have managed to shape the world in their image. At the same time, they transform Trump’s strategies into an artistic weapon and turn them against him.”

“A musical revue that, despite its serious subject matter, is very, very funny – completely over the top and liberatingly comic. Go and see it!”
