Beginnings

Gudula Mueller-Töwe was born in the small town of Plettenberg in the Sauerland region, where she graduated from high school.

She returned to the theater stage with an engagement at the renowned La Fura dels Baus for the play OBS / Obsesión .

After further performances in Zimbabwe, the ensemble was invited to the April International Theater Festival 2007 in Lusaka , Zambia , and celebrated great success there. Frog Queen was honored as the best international contribution and "La Towe" as the best actress, although she had only recently taken on the role due to the short-term absence of the planned leading actress.
