The city of Kaliningrad is the adopted home of Grischkowez, who is known as the “inventor of Russian performance ” .
Life
After completing his military service in the Navy, he studied Russian philology at the Technical University of Kuzbass in Kemerovo. There he founded the Loge theater ensemble in 1990 , with which he developed over 20 pieces of his own in the following years, which the group developed together from conversation and improvisation . In 1998 he created his one-person play How I ate a dog , with which he made a big splash at the NET (New European Theater) international theater festival in Moscow . The following year he presented his new piece Simultaneously at the NET festival with similar success.
Since the 2000/2001 theater season he has performed his plays as a permanent guest performer at the Moscow Theater School of Contemporary Play . At the same time there was a production of his play Notes of a Russian Traveler , directed by Jossif Reichelhaus. In the same year he was awarded the Russian Antibooker Literature Prize for Drama . The jury of the national Russian theater show Golden Mask awarded him the 2000 Innovation Prize , and the group of critics awarded him the Audience Prize for the acting season.
In September 2001 he completed his new play Die Stadt . The premiere took place at the famous Tabakerka , Oleg Tabakov's theater studio in Moscow. In 2002 the world premiere of Dreadnoughts took place in the Moscow in-club OGOROD , again a theater project that went beyond the scope of the usual theater concept in Russia.
Grischkowez has been living in Kaliningrad for a few years: (quote) “... the former Königsberg. I didn't just choose this city to live in by chance, I definitely don't want to move to Moscow. I am a provincial and I cannot cope with the Moscow rhythm. Although all of my work is related to Moscow. The city and the planet tell of life in the big city . Kaliningrad is not a 100% Russian city, pleasant to live in, in my opinion an ideal city among the smaller ones in Russia. Also because it is by the sea. From here I can see my life and work in Moscow from a distance without being an emigrant. "
