Bachelor's degrees in directing and acting 2025
In her final production, Lea Marlen Balzer tells the story of a man as famous as he is nameless, who was murdered on a mountain, run over by a glacier and only became a sensation 5,300 years later because a German couple stumbled across him while hiking. But what do we actually want to find out about him, the most researched body in the world today? A play about lingering, melting and preserving, about Tupperware and kisses like monuments.
"Hello Stefan / we'll come later, we're still here with the police / we've never had anything to do with the police / the policewoman isn't wearing any gloves, funny or / no, no Nazis / not here on the mountain / because of a corpse / because of a corpse, Stefan / someone's dead, I don't understand what you want from me / circulate the air, darling, and take off the baking foil first / exactly"
In 2023, the play "Titanic oder wie tief kann man sinken", which Balzer also wrote and directed, was awarded the jury prize and the audience prize at the Drachengasse young talent competition in Vienna.
