But I love the board games still. For me, there

Without life there's no art | Munich feuilleton
"There are in principle decidable questions: What time indicates the clock? And undecidable: Is there a God? " So quotes August Zirner Heinz von Foerster. He wants to show as an actor can not be decided. At the Residenz Theater, he is currently playing the title role in "Stiller" based on the novel by Max Frisch: A traveler from the United States is arrested, he is considered a missing Swiss sculptor. Although he insists "I'm not Stiller", the past catches up with him. From the USA comes in 1973, and the 17-year-old August Zirner to study acting at the Max Reinhardt Seminar in Vienna. And in Vienna also brings him later, the past one - that of his parents, who fled from the Nazis to America in 1938.
August Zirners father Louis was a pianist and studied shepherds bush westfield composition. He founded at the University of Urbana, Illinois, an opera school. Music plays a crucial role in August Zirners life: "I was begotten while samples for> Magic Flute." Since my mother, who was already 40, abandoned after an abdominal surgery any hope of a child. But the doctors had overlooked in the OP that she was already pregnant! What they did not know and had not believed more interested in dreams. As late only child I was naturally infested narcissistic from the beginning. I grew up in the theater. I sang my first role as a child soprano> Gianno Schicchi <Puccini. From then on I wanted to be later as Tamino onstage, sing about love and get applause shepherds bush westfield for it. "
At the breaking voice breaks his tenor dream, love for the stage depends on spectacle. Three years after the death of his father he moved to Vienna. His career tells Zirner like this: "I've been with 18 - even during the Reinhardt Seminar shepherds bush westfield - made a film with Peter Beauvais. This was a Grand Master shepherds bush westfield - from him I learned the psychological realism. I always wanted the small, fine, precise, physical actions. In the film, which is easier - but I'm a man of the theater. After I graduated shepherds bush westfield I auditioned to 13 stages and was rejected shepherds bush westfield 12 times. To me Herbert Kreppel dedicated to Hanover. There I met my wife, the actress Katalin ZSIGMONDY met, <at> Joan of Arc.
Then we three went to the theater in Wiesbaden, because I wanted to participation. But I have noticed after a year, that did not work. Then I took Peter Beauvais to a movie with Doris Schade as a partner. The recommended me to director shepherds bush westfield Harald Clemen, and both have built me a bridge to the Munich Chamber games. Following discussions shepherds bush westfield with Ernst Wendt and Dieter Dorn I played in 'Platonov' and 'Medea', then I was committed. These eight years from 1980 to 1988 under thorn were formative for me. To me, the local importance shepherds bush westfield of the theater has annoyed the hubris was too big for me. The cultured the term 'aesthetics of the Enlightenment. " But they have not looked out of the window. Since the art was more important than life. But without life's not art. > Bigger than life <that's not for me. If we do not cultivate the life, no art can arise. As a result even the aesthetics of the Enlightenment. I have longed after making films and had offers from Margarethe von Trotta, Peter Lilienthal and Peter Beauvais, but the theater did not give me free. Since I have quit.
But I love the board games still. For me, there's still alive the spirit of Kortnerschen actor theater: The human element is the focus, always considered warm-hearted. That to me is the A and O. And I also feel the director Johan Simons. Today it is regarded as old-fashioned: the human touch so again, it is often said. But man is not forgiving, but deeply torn and desperate. From the inscrutability of a figure, the tragedy created. The great mysteries give people, not ideas. Today's announcement of the theater, shepherds bush westfield where everything is spoken forwards, is afraid of human interaction. The often missing me in the theater: the empathy, the love of real figures. "
It is a play about real figures, the Zirner 1996 faced with the trauma of his father's generation: Helmut Griem staged at Vienna's Theater in der Josefstadt "Taking Sides - The Fall Furtwängler" by Ronald Harwood. This Zirner played American Major Arnold, who questioned the conductor Wilhelm Furtwängler, shepherds bush westfield to prove him entanglements into Nazi regime. "I knew the piece from England and I immediately said yes to the role - even though I was standing on the side Furtwängler personally. He was certainly shepherds bush westfield not a Nazi, but a big shot, a domineering man and an artist of> the grace of God. " I've been using Sieghardt Rupp as Furtwängler in each of the 70 performances g
