Stefan Pucher
Born in 1965 in Gießen. He studied Theatre Studies and American Studies in Frankfurt. From the mid-1990s onwards, he became deeply involved in various performance projects exploring the interplay of video art, music samples, and literary material. Alongside this, he continuously directed at the Theater am Turm (TAT) in Frankfurt. In 1999, he staged his first classical theatre text at Theater Basel with Chekhov's «Kirschgarten». Productions at the Volksbühne am Rosa-Luxemburg-Platz in Berlin, the Deutsches Schauspielhaus Hamburg, the Maxim-Gorki-Theater in Berlin, and the Münchner Kammerspiele followed. From 2000 to 2004, he served as house director at the Schauspielhaus Zürich. In 2005, Pucher was voted Director of the Year in the annual survey of the theatre magazine Theater heute by a jury of theatre critics. Several of his productions have been invited to the Berliner Theatertreffen, among them «Der Tod eines Handlungsreisenden» by Arthur Miller at the Schauspielhaus Zürich in 2011. Stefan Pucher currently directs at, among others, the Münchner Kammerspiele, the Thalia Theater Hamburg, the Burgtheater Wien, the Schauspielhaus Zürich, and the Volksbühne Berlin.
In the 23/24 season, Pucher made his debut at the Residenztheater with «Moby Dick». In the 26/27 season, he will direct «Alle meine Söhne» by Arthur Miller.
Performing in
Joe and Kate Keller have achieved financial wealth. Manufacturing aircraft parts for the Air Force has brought the family prosperity. Whether Joe really knew nothing about a delivery of faulty engines that caused twenty-one military planes to crash is left unchallenged. But then their past catches up with the Kellers.
Arthur Miller uses a single family to portray a society that has lost all its moral fibre in the pursuit of profit. A play about the search for truth and responsibility and unmasking a collective lie.
