In Hungarian
“The Frankenstein-project is a visually repulsive performance. Its aesthetic strength lies in the way the Hungarian actors are capable of masterfully manipulating the audience. Initially, they create the illusion that they’re equal partners in the project and that they can influence events at any moment. But what are we really dealing with here: a reality show? an installation? The answer is that it’s a fictitious story, a seemingly everyday social drama that suddenly turns into a bloody crime story – one that is terrifying, yet not shocking. Why? Because in Lithuania everyday life is just like that, and Hungary itself is probably no paradise...” (Menų faktūra – Lithuania)

"A címben szereplő Frankenstein szörnye Mundruczó szerint nem más, mint a bennünk lévő deviáns." - Dömötör Ági írása
Producer:
"Mundruczó Kornél csodálatraméltó érzékkel vegyíti a performansz, a komédia és a naturalista színház műfajait, melyek az ő kezében egy sokrétű, a jelenre reflektáló példázattá válnak.” (Badische Neueste Nachrichten)
