BLUETOOTH MODE: August Diehl & Kirill Serebrennikov

August Diehl is one of Germany’s most renowned actors. In three years of collaboration, he and Kirill Serebrennikov have accomplished an extraordinary amount together. Their work includes The Disappearance of Josef Mengele, which earned Diehl the 2026 German Film Award for Best Actor, as well as the stage productions Der Schneesturm (Salzburg Festival, Düsseldorfer Schauspielhaus) and Hamlet / Fantômes (Théâtre du Châtelet, Paris). More projects are already on the horizon.

Over this time, Diehl has become an integral part of the international creative family of Kirill & Friends.
 

As August Diehl himself puts it:

“Kirill and I have an incredible connection. He always called it ‘Bluetooth’. We hardly talk, but we understand each other instantly We're on the same wavelength.”

Whenever they do talk, however, their conversations range from art to universal questions and are always engaging, paradoxical, and full of unexpected discoveries. At the Kirill & Friends Berlin Festival, audiences will have a unique opportunity to become part of the dialogue between August Diehl and Kirill Serebrennikov.
