(...) and it is good because pure extremism, such as this, will at a certain point negate itself. What is serious will then become comical and what is meant to be a hellish contrast will then lie quite close by its counterpart. This insight into the relativity of things and the self-annihilation of the hard structure is one of the highpoints of the performance. (...) In recent years there has been talk of popular culture being integrated into serious, experimental art. (...) Rock music culture, especially, has a vitality often lacking in serious art. The fact that the combination of these two can be highly successful has been clearly proven by Remote Control Productions.
