Life

Stefanie Carp comes from Hamburg, the theater director Peter Carp is her older brother. She studied modern German literary studies, modern Greek philology and theater studies at the FU Berlin and received her doctorate in 1985 in new German literary studies with a thesis on prose and social theory by Alexander Kluge . From 1986 to 1988 she was engaged as a dramaturge at the Düsseldorfer Schauspielhaus for two seasons , and from 1988 to 1993 as the artistic director of Frank Baumbauer at the Theater Basel . In the following years, a very intensive collaboration with Christoph Marthaler and Anna Viebrock began there . From 1993 to 2000, Carp was dramaturge at the Deutsches Schauspielhaus in Hamburg, artistic director Frank Baumbauer, worked regularly with Marthaler (Faust Wurzel from 1 u 2, zero hour , Kasimir and Karoline ) and had various teaching positions at the University of Hamburg . The team of dramaturgists Wilfried Schulz , Tilman Raabke and Stefanie Carp was voted dramaturgy of the decade in the critics' survey of the trade journal Theater heute . When Marthaler took over the Zurich Schauspielhaus in 2000 , Carp followed him as chief dramaturge and co-director. The artistic and sometimes structural reinvention of the Zurich Schauspielhaus did not take place without resistance from local cultural policy. The artistic success was explosive, the theater was voted theater of the year several times in a row in the following years . Despite the creative energy of these years, Marthaler decided to leave the artistic director position before his contract expired.

In 2005, Carp took over the acting direction of the Wiener Festwochen for one season on behalf of Marie Zimmermann , who curated Theaters of the World in the same year . In the same year she accepted Frank Castorf's offer to become chief dramaturge at the Berliner Volksbühne am Rosa-Luxemburg-Platz . In 2006/07, in addition to her work at the Volksbühne, she was also visiting professor at the Leipzig Institute for Literature . From the 2007/08 season onwards, Luc Bondy offered her the director of theater at the Wiener Festwochen. From 2008 to 2013 Carp was responsible for the acting program of the Wiener Festwochen.

In 2015 she was named Dramaturge of the Year for Die Schutzbefohlenen by the theater magazine Theater heute .

In 2016 she was appointed artistic director of the Ruhrtriennale for the years 2018 to 2020. Even before the start in August 2018, Carp came under fire for having invited the band Young Fathers , who support Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions against Israel and refused to do without BDS slogans during their appearance at the Ruhrtriennale. So she criticized Isabel Pfeiffer-Poensgen , North Rhine-Westphalian Minister of Culture, with the words: “Of course we can critically examine Israel's politics. But when calls are made on the subject of a boycott of Israel or the isolation of Israel, these limits are clearly exceeded for me. ”In several interviews, Stefanie Carp rejected all allegations as obviously unjustified. Christoph Marthaler said in an open letter that Carp was "a person who is absolutely opposed to the assumed tendencies of anti-Semitism, but in the truest sense of the word cosmopolitan in the field of theater".

Carp invited the historian Achille Mbembe to the Ruhrtriennale 2020 as a speaker on the opening day. Politicians of the North Rhine-Westphalian FDP called on Carp in an open letter to unload Mbembe because of his proximity and support of the anti-Israel campaign BDS . The CDU member Günther Bergmann demanded personal consequences against Carp, the Central Council of Jews and the Jewish-German values ​​initiative for the dismissal of the Ruhrtriennale director.
