Alexander Kerlin

Alexander Kerlin worked as a dramaturge in the independent theater scene in North Rhine-Westphalia, at Schauspiel Dortmund, at the Burgtheater, and as head dramaturge at the Volkstheater Wien. He has been invited to the Theatertreffen several times, both in his role as dramaturge and as author. Reconciling the post-dramatic with drama—that is also the challenge for him when writing. Most recently, his play “Bullet Time – Die Geburt des Kinos aus dem Geiste eines Mörders” (Bullet Time – The Birth of Cinema from the Mind of a Murderer) premiered at the Volkstheater Wien, directed by Kay Voges. Starting in the 25/26 season, Alexander Kerlin will be chief dramaturge at Schauspiel Köln.
