The Premiere review of Badische Neueste Nachrichten ascertains: “Wolf E. Rahlfs convinces with his production of the Classic at Badische Landesbühne by applying a mashup-style aesthetic that juxtaposes the versatile styles of the source material and thereby connects them in a graceful manner. (…) Rahlfs’ “Steppenwolf" exhibits the pure pleasure of game-playing and is full of surprises until the very end." – And the Heilbronner Stimme concludes: “This production merits national recognition."
