Life

Märki grew up near Basel and attended high school in Basel. After graduating from high school , he worked as a photographer and advertising manager and founded a press agency in Basel, which he sold before starting his acting career. 1980 to 1984 he attended the drama school in Munich . After an accident, he for whose for a long time could not occur, founded Märki 1985 in Munich, the Team Theater , which he presided as artistic director and managing director.

In 1993 Märki was appointed director of the Hans-Otto-Theater in Potsdam , where he stayed until 1997. He left Potsdam when the city asked him to wind up the music theater. Märki then worked as a freelance director and in 1999 received a visiting professorship at the Max Reinhardt Seminar in Vienna . In addition to his teaching activities, Märki first worked as a director at the Weimar Theater.

In 2000, Märki moved to the German National Theater and State Orchestra (DNT) in Weimar as General Director . In 2002 he succeeded in enforcing the independence of the DNT against the ideas of the Thuringian state government, which aimed to merge this traditional house with the stages in Erfurt. The solution became known as the " Weimar Model ".

Märki achieved a much-acclaimed production in 2004 with the performance of Wilhelm Tell on the Swiss Rütli , with which he brought the play to the original setting 200 years after its premiere. After some controversy, the DNT's supervisory board extended Märki's contract until 2014 in January 2009. In 2011, the supervisory board of the German National Theater Weimar agreed to an early termination of the contract with Märki.

On July 1, 2011, Märki took over - limited to one year together with Marcel Brülhart - the merging of the Bern Symphony Orchestra and the Bern City Theater into a four-division house consisting of concert, opera, drama and dance. From the 2012/13 season, Märki was the sole director of Konzert Theater Bern. On July 6, 2018, he announced his immediate resignation from this post.
