life and work

In 2003 Wilson published his doctoral thesis on Christian Morgenstern's gallows songs , in which he understands Morgenstern's gallows songs as "resistance to entrenched linguistic and thought habits". His play Faeuste appeared three years later . The comedy Part One: Taking up set pieces from Goethe's Faust , Faeuste subjects the institution “school” to ironic and biting criticism and was perceived by the press as “[s] scandalous” at its premiere in 2005. With the piece SCHLAF, also premiered in Hamburg in 2007, Wilson shows “what makes people human and what only dares to express itself uncensored in dreams”: basic themes such as sexuality and fear, “in gloomy images, almost wordlessly on the dim stage”. In an exhibition of artistic photographs in 2009, Wilson uses the medium of the image to continue the topos of human imprisonment, which has already been thematized in his dramas , and establishes “the breadth and limits of our existence”.
