About Dura and Kroesinger

Hans-Werner Kroesinger

Hans-Werner Kroesinger, born in Bonn in 1962, is a director and is considered one of the most important representatives of documentary theater in the German-speaking world. From 1983 to 1988, he studied at the Institute for Applied Theater Studies in Giessen. While still a student, he worked as an assistant director and dramaturge for Robert Wilson from 1987 to 1989. In 1989/90, he was artistic assistant to Heiner Müller in the production of "Hamlet/Hamletmaschine" at the Deutsches Theater Berlin. He made his debut as a director in 1993. Works in recent years have dealt with topics such as the Eichmann trial, the German Autumn of 1977, the military operation in Kosovo and the history of colonialism. His work "Stolpersteine Staatstheater" at the Badisches Staatstheater Karlsruhe was invited to the Berlin Theatertreffen in 2016. Kroesinger has been working with Regine Dura since 2000.
