Life
Mathias Kopetzki was born in Osnabrück and grew up with adoptive parents in Hude . After graduating from the Liebfrauenschule in Oldenburg and doing civilian service at the Bahnhofsmission Bremen, he studied acting with a diploma from 1994 to 1998 at the Mozarteum University in Salzburg. During his community service he made his professional theatrical debut with the leading role of right-wing extremist Klaus Bendix in Walled Up by Jürgen Alberts at the Junge Theater Bremen. In the first year of his training, he received a guest contract at the Oldenburg State Theater in Gilgamesch from Matthias Schiffner and Michael Heicks. In addition, at that time he appeared with self-staged readings, recitals and performances, mainly in Austria and in the Oldenburger Land, and gave theater workshops as adult education courses. This was followed by guest engagements with Peter Stein at the Salzburg Festival (as Alpengeist in Der Alpenkönig and the Misanthrope by Ferdinand Raimund, with Otto Schenk and Helmuth Lohner), the Bremen Theater (Balu in Das Dschungelbuch according to Rudjard Kipling) and the boy Theater Bremen ( Kanak Sprak by Feridun Zaimoglu).
He took up his first permanent engagement in 1998 at the stages of the city of Cologne, where he played in productions by Torsten Fischer, Frank Patrick Steckel, Uwe Hergenröder, Uwe Hotz and Volker Hesse. In 2000 he left the house to venture a new artistic start at the Schauspielhaus Graz in the newly founded team around drama director Matthias Fontheim. Here he played many leading roles under directors such as Fontheim, Robert Schmidt, Ali M. Abdullah, Gil Mehmert, Helmut Köpping and Tatjana Gürbaca. He was then hired by Claus Peymann to join the Berliner Ensemble, where he played in productions by Peymann, Peter Zadek, Cornelia Crompholz and Robert Wilson, including in Peer Gynt, Richard II, Leonce and Lena or Die heilige Johanna der Schlachthöfe . In 2005 he also left this house because he did not see sufficient prospects for himself at this theater and switched to the Rostock Volkstheater for a year. Here he played under theater director Johanna Schall, Rainer Iwersen, Matthias Brenner, Renat Safiullin and Klaus Noack in plays such as A Servant of Two Masters, The Comedy of Errors or Danton's Death .
Since 2006 Kopetzki has been working freelance with theater engagements at the Dresden Semperoper , ( Manon Lescaut by Giacomo Puccini) at the Bremen Theater , at the Cottbus State Theater, at the Essen Theater, at the Siegen Theater, at the Fritz Remond Theater im Zoo, Frankfurt, at the Komödie am Braunschweig old town market, at the Ettlingen Palace Festival or at the Feuchtwangen cloister games. He has appeared nationwide for years with his own productions, performances and readings, works for film and television (including Alarm for Cobra 11, Soko Cologne, Soko Leipzig, GSG 9, 4 Singles, Our Man in the South etc.), synchronizes numerous TV Series and feature films, gives literature courses at adult education centers and works at times as an acting lecturer.
In 2002 he was awarded the Austrian Nestroy Theater Prize with the Graz Ensemble of LKH - Eine Theatersoap , and in 2000 he was invited to the Berlin Theatertreffen and the Mülheimer Theatertage with two Cologne productions . He addressed the story of his adoption and the rapprochement with his biological father in his book Tehran im Bauch . In 2012 his second work was published Im Sarg nach Prag - Experiences from a fare-dodger professional . Kopetzki lives in Berlin and has a son.
