In 2018, Anna Bergmann took over the management of the acting department at the Badisches Staatstheater Karlsruhe and turned it around. In its first season, it only hired female directors; men had to look for work elsewhere. Today the gender quota among directors is equal. At the same time, she strived for collective management of her division, which she manages together with her deputy, the dramaturge Anna Haas, and the acting manager Christian Schürmann, and two representatives of the ensemble also sit on the management. Her contract ends at the end of the current season; In her last production she once again makes clear the power with which women can shape the theater. Bergmann directs “Miss Golden Dreams” by Joyce Carol Oates, starring six women. Only women, including the male characters.
