Steffen Siegmund is attracted to the stage because that is where – to paraphrase Wolfram Lotz – dying doesn’t count anymore. What is final in life remains no more than a possibility on stage. For Steffen Siegmund, the freedom and also the task of the actor is to look for those possibilities. He began his search in 2009 by studying Acting at HMT Leipzig. After graduating in 2013, he worked with directors including Camilla Ferraz, Toshiki Okada, Johan Simons and others, and in 2017 he won the Boy Gobert Prize. While he was an ensemble member at the Thalia Theater in Hamburg, he also ran the youth theatre club Voodookinder and devised the late-night series “Talk unterm Dach”. For him, every stage format contains at least one possibility: of using fiction to change reality.
