Career

Justine del Corte is the daughter of a Mexican and a German as well as the granddaughter of a Sephardic rabbi exiled from Spain , who made a name for himself as a newspaper publisher, and an indigenous grandmother. She has lived in Berlin since she was ten and has German citizenship . Del Corte completed her acting training at the University of the Arts in Berlin and in New York , and she also studied film production and directing in Hamburg .

At 19 she became a member of the Mexican theater company Compania Divas , through which she came to Vienna for a guest performance . She then stayed there for a while and worked on various projects for film students.

Her first feature film, Dr. M , filmed del Corte in 1989 with director Claude Chabrol . She was also seen in various TV productions, e.g. B. in the crime series Die Kommissarin and Wolffs Revier . In addition, she embodied various episode roles in well-known series productions such as Das Traumschiff , Marienhof , In allerfreund and Die Stein . In 1996 she also wrote the script for the 35-minute documentary Teotihuacán about the ruins of the same name.

Her stage debut as Stella in Goethe 's play of the same name, which was staged in 1992 under the direction of Edith Clever at the Salzburg Festival , was followed by numerous theater productions, for example at the Stuttgart State Theater or the Bremen Theater . She was also a member of the ensemble of the Hamburger Kammerspiele and the Schaubühne Berlin .

In addition, Corte has been writing his own pieces for the stage since 2004. First she worked with Roland Schimmelpfennig , who, on behalf of the National Theater Santiago de Chile, staged a performance about the life of the Chilean Nobel Prize for Literature, Pablo Neruda, on his 100th birthday. The resulting play Canto minor made its debut on May 12, 2004 under the direction of Raúl Osorio at the Chilean National Theater and was also performed as a guest performance at the 36th Mülheim Theatertreffen in 2011.

Del Cortes own first work as a playwright, The Nightmare of Happiness , was staged for the first time on June 8, 2007 at the Ruhr Festival in Recklinghausen - in cooperation with the Schauspielhaus Bochum - by Elmar Goerden . According to Christian Rakow, it presents a particularly depressing inventory of everyday female displeasure and depicts the helplessness of her characters in existence.

In another collaboration with Schimmelpfennig, who this time directed, she staged her second play The Rat on January 19, 2008 at the Schauspielhaus am Pfauen in Zurich . The black tabloid comedy is reminiscent of Yasmina Reza's The God of Carnage and shows two sisters with their partners who are united in an intimate dispute in the course of the plot and are characterized in various coalitions with and against one another, as Christoph Fellmann writes in his review.

The play Sex , directed by Matthias Hartmann, was also performed for the first time on the Pfauenbühne on October 24, 2008 . It is u. a. deals with sexuality in the range of human behavior.
