Peter Roggisch
Peter Roggisch (born August 10, 1937 in Berlin ; † February 21, 2001 in Hamburg ) was a German actor and director who worked for both the theater and film and as a speaker for audio productions under such well-known directors as Alexander Kluge , Hans Neuenfels , Peter Palitzsch and Peter Zadek worked. He is one of the most important Shakespeare actors in Germany.
Life
After attending a grammar school in Hamburg, Peter Roggisch initially studied four semesters of law and also acting at the Frese drama school. He appeared on amateur stages in Hamburg and received his first engagement at the Bern Ateliertheater in 1958 at the age of 21, where he made his debut in Blick zurück im Zorn von John Osborne . In 1960 he was called to the Burgtheater in Vienna because of the loss of an actor , after which his engagement was extended to include another production due to the loss of another actor. Then he went to the Hamburger Kammerspiele.
From 1962 to 1964 he worked at the Basler Komödie, after which he played eight years at the Staatstheater Stuttgart (1964 to 1972) and then eight years at the Schauspiel Frankfurt . There he got involved with Palitzsch, Neuenfels and others in the co-determination theater project practiced there . He worked at the Schauspielhaus Bochum for another eight years . He was also seen at the Schauspielhaus Zürich , the Freie Volksbühne Berlin and the Berlin Schaubühne . In addition to his engagements at the theater, he appeared repeatedly in films and acted as a speaker in radio plays and audio books .
For the last few years he has played regularly with Martin Kušej at the Thalia Theater in his adopted home of Hamburg , of which he has been a member since 1998. Most recently he appeared as director Hummel in the ghost sonata based on August Strindberg and, sitting in a wheelchair after suffering from a brain tumor disease , with a series of readings from Dante's Divine Comedy until the progression of his illness did not allow any further stage appearances.
Services
Even after his death, Peter Roggisch is one of the most important Shakespeare actors in Germany. He also knew how to shine in pieces by Brecht thanks to his differentiated playing style. Throughout his life he had engagements at many of the most important German-speaking theaters.
In a review of the Hamlet performance by Palitzsch in Stuttgart, Die Zeit described him as "certainly one of the most talented, most sensitive actors in German theater" and in a review by Prince Sigismund as a "sensitive and technically versatile actor". Even the theater lexicon of the Henschel Verlag, which is extremely critical of bourgeois theater in its political tendencies, attested to him that “Roggisch analyzes and comments on his characters, composes them from contradicting situations [...] in order to uncover and criticize bourgeois behavior, with the intention of creating bourgeois relationships to overcome or change [...] ”.
The magazine Theater heute wrote in issue 9 of the 1977 year: “And then there was a performance in Stuttgart in which Palitzsch, in cooperation with two actors, masterfully let his difficult sense of reality become effective in a play that had been understood as a puzzled parable up to that point : Beckett's 'Waiting for Godot'. The two waiting people were just waiting tramps, played by Gerhard Just and Peter Roggisch. Their waiting did not stop there, but was filled with human reality from the process of the manifold relationships between the two waiting people. As clearly and precisely as every phase of this process was demonstrated, every detail remained tender, vulnerable, loving. A serene, sober evening, on which Just's bulkiness and rigidity were refined to the extent that Peter Roggisch's speed and fluidity of sensation were consolidated and verifiable. The two showed what that is: teamwork. "
