Michael Laux
Michael Laux (born February 6, 1952 in Merzig , Saar ; † December 18, 2019 in Völklingen ) was a German filmmaker .
Life
Laux grew up as one of three brothers in Schwemlingen . He studied German and theater studies in Trier and Berlin and made a name for himself as an independent filmmaker from 1974. His best-known and most successful film, in which he acted as a screenwriter and director in 1984 , is " Richy Guitar " with the original line-up of the Berlin punk rock band " Die Ärzte ".
In 2011 Laux left his adopted home Berlin and moved back to his parents' house in Saarland. In cooperation with the Dreisbach glass house, he founded a theater group for which he wrote the play The Last Scream of Paris . He was also responsible for the direction. The grotesquely humorous piece, which is set at the time of the French Revolution, but consciously makes use of numerous anachronisms and historical crossovers, premiered in the summer of 2019.
