“I’m interested in language as an organ,” writes Kathrin Röggla. And this organ comes from all sides, goes in all directions, is nothing static – and thus also something that goes beyond every figure. Kathrin Röggla, born in 1971, writes prose texts and dramas and has received several awards for this. The author researches meticulously for her plays, for example on fear of flying and other phobias, on the debt trap or on the specific case of Natascha Kampusch. It should be exciting to hear from her how she approaches theater texts. Stefan Hunstein, Head of the Performing Arts Department, has invited Kathrin Röggla to the Academy of Fine Arts on Thursday, January 26, to do just that. In the “Writing for the Theater” series he founded, she met director Tina Lanik. Lanik has developed a strong profile in Munich with her productions at the Bavarian State Theater under the directorships of Dieter Dorn and Martin Kušej. Sylvana Krappatsch and André Jung from the Kammerspiele will also be on the podium, reading texts by Kathrin Röggla.
Writing for the Theater with Kathrin Röggla and Tina Lanik, Thursday, Jan. 26, 7 p.m., Academy of Fine Arts, Max-Joseph-Platz 3, free admission
