Life

Johanna Tschautscher studied philosophy and theater studies at the University of Vienna and acting from 1988 to 1992 at the Graumann School in Vienna. In 1992 she completed her training and played several roles in the Vienna independent scene. She worked as a production assistant and lighting assistant at the Vienna Pocket Opera, wrote numerous plays and staged her first play Hell in the Crisis in Vienna in 1993 . Between 1993 and 1998 their three children were born. During this time she published in literary magazines, wrote her first novel The Garden in the Desert and wrote the play The Mother Who Did n't Exist, which premiered in Vienna.

A subject related to the Italian mafia brought her to Palermo in 2000 with the help of a scholarship . She did research for her novel and the screenplay The Seven Ravens . The research and an interview with a senior public prosecutor of the Italian anti-mafia investigation group, Roberto Scarpinato , prompted her to think in terms of documentary in addition to the fictitious examination of the material. After a documentary film seminar at MEDIA , Sources 2, in Finland , she has also been working as a director since 2000.

She traveled to several African countries and made two documentaries on irregular migration. The information film "Escape destination Europe beyond dreams" was shown in an English and a French version in numerous African countries. Among others in Ghana , Niger , Congo and Senegal . The film was handed over to the Senegalese minister of education in 2011. In the course of the confrontation with Africa, she helped a Nigerian author as a ghostwriter to work on her book "How I broke the spell of voodoo".

As a token of appreciation for her commitment in Africa and her courage to go her own way despite resistance, her hometown awarded her the "Women's Order of the City of Linz" in 2009.

In 2016 she dealt with the political scandal surrounding Hypo Alpe Adria and used a new art medium for the first time. In a women's team, she takes on the role of research and planning for the installation "reveal" in public space.

The book "Transformation of the Powers" brought her closer to the theology and spirituality of the American theologian Walter Wink , and she dedicated an essay film to the theologian.
