About works / performance

I am a playwright.
As such I am not only writing plays, but am also deeply involved in the staging of the texts. Right now I am working as a writer in residency for the "Schauspiel Frankfurt" but I also have stagings in many other cities across Europe, like Berlin, Copenhagen, Munich, Stuttgart, London etc. (because of the luck that my plays are translated widely). My workingfield is a synergy between research, social observation, and theaterrehearsal. I like it a lot. It is not only writing, but very practical too.
