BERLINER PORTRÄT GALERIE - GROSSE REGISSEURE. FOLGE 1: LUC BONDY

"I have enjoyed getting bogged down all my life".

This statement by Luc Bondy seems to be a stroke of luck, because the fact that he will not only be remembered as an important theater and opera director, but also left behind books whose texts are full of precise observation and poetry, shows how wide the range of his creative activity was. In stories, dream images and sketches, Bondy expresses the existential with ease.

Born in Switzerland, artistically at home in Vienna and Paris, closely associated with the Schaubühne in Berlin for many years, he was an exceptional artistic phenomenon who caused a sensation on German, European and international stages.

To remember Luc Bondy is to remember a man who tells of life in its many manifestations with grandiose productions and poetic means.
