Life

Karsten Kramer was born in East Berlin and studied acting at the Rostock University of Music and Theater. During this time he stood u. a. on the stages of the Staatstheater Schwerin , the Volkstheater Rostock and with Diether Krebs and Kurt Böwe in front of the camera. In 1995 his first permanent engagement led him to the Erfurt Theater . For the portrayal of the title role in Walther Hasenclever's “ The Son ” in a sensational production by Harald Siebler , he was recommended by Theater heute as the best young actor in 1995 .

He stayed five more seasons in Erfurt, during which time he played various character roles such as Hofmarschall von Kalb (Schiller's “Cabal and Love”), Caliban ( Shakespeare's “The Storm” ) and Peter Caspar in “Shakespeare's Complete Works, slightly abridged”.

Since his return from several months in China, Karsten Kramer has been working as a freelancer for theater and television. For ten years he played in the ZDF children's series “Anja and Anton”, which was awarded the Golden Sparrow , as the melancholy and witty Klaus-Peter. For his portrayal of Truffaldino in Carlo Goldoni's “ Diener Zweier Herren ” at the Bad Hersfeld Festival , Karsten Kramer received the great Hersfeld Prize 2003 from the jury of critics.

His acting performance is characterized above all by the complexity of the characters he embodies, but also by his physicality and his linguistic brilliance - the critics of the press agree. Pompeijus in “Mass für Mass”, Puck in “Midsummer Night's Dream ” and Sosias in “Amphitryon” are some of the roles that are praised in daily newspapers and that he designed in Bad Hersfeld. As dwarf cousin Lymon in Edward Albee's “Ballad vom Sadigen Cafe”, he is a guest at Theater Vorpommern , where the press praises his fantastic performance, which is politically correct neither in the book nor on the stage. He should be mean, crippled, unsympathetic, ridiculous. (OZ Kultur, October 1, 2012). He also played at the Fritz Remond Theater in Frankfurt, at the Altona Theater and at the Hamburger Kammerspiele. Karsten Kramer also played at the opera. At the age of only thirty he played the coveted role of the prison guard Frosch in " Die Fledermaus " by Johann Strauss.

In the summer of 2014 he was seen at the Burgfestspiele Jagsthausen in Götz von Berlichingen (director: Michael Bogdanov ), Die Päpstin (director: Eva Hosemann) and in Die Feuerzangenbowle (director: Axel Schneider). In August 2014 he received the audience award of the Jagsthausen Castle Festival, the Iron Hand, for his acting performance .
