Orit Nahmias, September 2012

Orit Nahmias ( Ivrit אורית נחמיאס) (* 1977 in Jerusalem ) is an Israeli actress , drama - and screenwriter who has lived in Berlin since 2012 found. Since the 2015/2016 season she has been a member of the ensemble of the Maxim Gorki Theater and often works with the director Yael Ronen , who develops her plays together with the actors. Orit Nahmias was invited to the Berlin Theatertreffen in 2015 and 2016 as an actress and co-author of Common Ground and The Situation .

Live and act

Orit Nahmias was born in Jerusalem in 1977 and completed her acting training at the Hakibbutz seminar in the College of Education in Tel Aviv . Orit Nahmias has lived and worked in Berlin since 2012.

Orit Nahmias is one of the few actresses who speaks almost only English on a German stage. At first it was due to her lack of knowledge of German. In the Maxim Gorki Theater, however, it does not cause any difficulties in understanding because of the surtitles. She had her first purely German-speaking role in Feinde - the story of a love based on the novel by Isaac Bashevis Singer . There she was used by Yael Ronen "against the line of origin": She played the Polish non-Jew Yadwiga with a blonde Gretchen braided hairstyle.

Since 2009 Orit Nahmias has performed several productions at the Schaubühne with the theater group of the Israeli director Yael Ronen , whom she knew from her studies . In the fall of 2013, Yael Ronen became resident director at the Maxim-Gorki-Theater, and Nahmias has been a permanent guest actress there ever since. She has been a member of the Maxim Gorki Theater ensemble since the 2015/2016 season. So far, she has been featured in almost all of Yael Ronen's productions and is seen as the director's alter ego .

In 2013 she shot the documentary Jerusalem for Cowards with her school friend Dalia Castel, who now also lived in Berlin .

The range of her roles is wide: in The Russian Is One Who Loves Birken , she played a lesbian photographer in Israel in 2013, in the award-winning piece Common Ground , as an Israeli, she is "a self-deprecating expert on insoluble political and ethnic conflicts". In Erotic Crisis she depicts a woman who suffers from the fact that her partner no longer feels like having sex with her. Her role in her self-conceived stand-up show Oritsy - A Young Mother Tells the Truth arose from the desire to finally be on stage not as an Israeli, as a Jew, but as a sex symbol.

Awards (selection)

reception

In a contribution by the Goethe Institute , the “brilliant, apt and astute monologues” by Orit Nahmias in In Our Name were praised. The actress wrote the lyrics herself and thus redesigned the role intended for her with the support of the director: It was planned that she should read texts from a Bundestag session. Since she found this incomprehensible, in her own words she made it “the role of an observer who comments on what is happening on stage from the perspective of his own common sense”.
