ANDRÉ ERLEN (Cologne, DE)
is one of four Artistic Directors of Futur3 – a theatre group he co-founded in 2003.
He studied Art at the Art Academy in Düsseldorf, while training as actor and discovering the vivid theatre world in Poland.
With André we speak about his work, his beginnings in the theatre, founding Futur3, performing outside of theatre buildings, about Cologne, scenography, light, space and the relation to the spectator. We speak about Polish theatre, about the Art world and not liking Premiere parties & Vernissages.
We speak about Theatre which always vanishes and strategies to react to this. We speak about streaming theatre and why it does not work, about the necessity of translation, acting in virtual reality, games, shows without actors. We speak about truth and lies in the actor’s craft, the necessity of being in charge of the situation and much more…
