‘Compulsory listening advice! The text by Olivier Herter is brilliant. The entire combination of voice, sound, and story goes to the bone.’
Marijn Lems about Dat het was
‘Rarely have I seen so clearly staged how trauma creates a gap in your memories and, with it, in your identity, in this unparalleled text by Olivier Herter.’
De Volkskrant about Songs for a Passerby
‘Award-winning virtual reality opera constantly confronts you with your feelings.’
Het Parool about Songs for a Passerby
‘Virtual reality at the Venice Film Festival: the virtual encounter with oneself is VR at its best.‘
Filmkrant about Songs for a Passerby
‘VR as a spatial musical piece, as a non-narrative drama, as a passerby in the mist.’
‘Herter structures his sentences in such a way that words sometimes slightly drift from their meaning; within a single sentence, the tense shifts from present to past, but rarely to the perfect form.‘
De Theaterkrant about Dat het was
‘A trauma is difficult to capture in words. Olivier Herter has beautifully captured this elusive totality of thoughts, images, and reflections in this deeply felt text.‘
Het Parool about Dat het was
‘For Herter, language is not a perfectly honed instrument to express reality. Rather, it is precisely the limitations and inadequacy of language that appeal to him, and that are often at least as meaningful.
