Alexander Kubelka

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Alexander Kubelka (born April 16, 1968 in Innsbruck ) is an Austrian artistic director, theater and opera director.

Career

He grew up in Carinthia and graduated from the artistic branch of the grammar school in Viktring near Klagenfurt . After studying music theater at the Vienna Conservatory, he founded KLAS on the Heunburg . As a young director he opened his first free theater in the village with Georg Büchner's Woyzeck murder . Thereupon, director Dietmar Pflegerl discovered the Junge Wilde and brought him to the Klagenfurt City Theater , where he found an artistic home in the years that followed.

With his first directorial work at Klagenfurt City Theater, Spring Awakening by Frank Wedekind , Kubelka caused a sensation nationwide and was nominated by Kurt Hübner for the Kurt Hübner Director's Prize.

Kubelka was engaged at the Düsseldorfer Schauspielhaus under the direction of Anna Badora . There, in addition to other artistically appealing and critically acclaimed productions, he was able to record the “Audience Success of the Year” at the Düsseldorfer Schauspielhaus for two years in a row with Die Physiker von Dürrenmatt . In Austria, he was awarded the Carinthian State Carinthia's Promotion Prize for Dramatic Art for his production of Kärnten Treu .

In Emmy Werner, the director of the Vienna Volkstheater, Kubelka found a supporter and companion. Directional works such as princess dramas by Elfriede Jelinek , Lulu by Gustav Ernst , for which he received the Karl Skraup Prize for best director, or Mozart's visions of Franzobel significantly shaped the artistic face of the Volkstheater.

In addition to the Basel Theater and the Heidelberg Theater , Kubelka has recently also worked with Artistic Director Günther Beelitz at the Düsseldorfer Schauspielhaus. Galileo Galilei by Bertolt Brecht at the Theater in Heidelberg and Shakespeare's King Lear at the Klagenfurt City Theater, under the direction of Kubelka, were again the audiences of the year. In addition to his artistic activity, Kubelka was visiting professor at the Max Reinhardt Seminar in Vienna.

With Manuel Rubey in the leading role and the band Mondscheiner , Kubelka opened his first season as artistic director and director of the Vorarlberger Landestheater on October 2, 2009 with Luigi Pirandello's Die Riesen vom Berge . Today the Landestheater presents itself with around 40% more visitors and an artistically diverse program. In October 2017 it was announced that Kubelka would be leaving the State Theater one year before his contract expires. As of November 1, 2017, Britta Kampert took over the artistic direction of the theater on an interim basis.
