In het onlangs verschenen overzichtswerk The Routledge Companion to Contemporary European Theatre and Performance (2024) werd een hoofdstuk opgenomen over mijn werk, geschreven door Liesbeth Groot Nibbelink van Universiteit Utrecht. Hieronder een citaat en de link naar het betreffende hoofdstuk.
‘From the early stages of her professional career, starting with her graduation from the Amsterdam School of the Arts in 2001 (…) Lotte van den Berg has steadily built a very authentic and original oeuvre, in which she continues to examine what binds and connects people, and how one can be in dialogue in a careful and attentive manner. Within this trajectory, she increasingly deviates from well-trodden paths, first by alternatively working within and outside the theatre, then stepping outside the theatrical form, then moving beyond the theatre institution itself. Is it still theatre then? Surely it is. Yet the firm affirmation requires us to rethink what constitutes theatre in the first place. For Van den Berg, theatre is a place for exercising togetherness and for acquiring the skills to do so. ‘
