Alexeij Sagerer

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Alexeij Sagerer (born August 4, 1944 in Plattling as Rudolf Friedrich Sagerer ) is a German theater director , author , actor and media artist. In 1969 he founded the proT theater in Munich.

Life

Sagerer grew up in Plattling, Lower Bavaria. The choice of his stage name should be seen as a step towards independence from his father Rudolf Maximilian Sagerer, from whom he occasionally experienced violence in his childhood. In July 1963, Sagerer dropped out of school in Deggendorf, which was followed by stays in London and Paris. During this time he decided to devote his future to theater and filmmaking in addition to writing.

From 1966 he attended the drama school Zerboni , but broke off the training. He gained his first experience in the film by an internship at Arri , where he among other things, cutting learned. Back in Munich, he made his first appearance as an actor in 1968 in the play Alteraction in the Munich House of Art. Later he appeared several times in the Büchner Theater. It was there that Sagerer made his directorial debut in 1967 with Oblomow based on the novel by Ivan Alexandrowitsch Goncharov . Two years later he founded the proT.

In 1971 he was charged and convicted of rape of an actress. He was married from 1978 to 1997, and they have two children. In 2007 a son was born from a relationship with a journalist.

On November 27, 1969, the proT opened with the plays Tödliche Liebe or Eine zu viel und Gschaegn is gschaegn . Sagerer was also active in the field of video art. In 1969 his first two film projects, Crime and Romance, were realized. In 1973 his predominantly documentary production Aumühle made it into the cinemas.

In 1987 at documenta 8 in Kassel, Sagerer showed, among other things, the installation Kissing TVs , in which the danger of the media is thematized by colliding TVs.

Sagerer regularly offended the city of Munich. Freedom of movement as in Pure Pornography (2006) or political allusions as in Tarzan's Propaganda Ministry (2003) led to discussions about his financial support until the 2000s.

In Sagerer's works, the body itself is brought to the fore. Sagerer is known for staging performances that lasted for hours, for example in … and tomorrow the whole world (1997) , a 28-hour performance in which he was locked up in a cube with thirteen performers and seven sheep.

Sagerer gets his material from many sources, including newspaper articles (Aumühle), folk tales (The Nibelung at the VierVideoTurm), pop and Bavarian culture (Gschaeng is gschaeng) . Often there are specific political allusions, for example to the Nazi dictatorship, as in his filming concept for 7 German cardinal points.

In 2016 Sagerer filmed for Love Me! Repeat me! a friend dying.
