Tomaž Pandur (born February 19, 1963 in Maribor , Yugoslavia , † April 12, 2016 in Skopje , Macedonia ) was a Slovenian theater director .
Life
The enfant terrible of the Slovenian stage founded his own theater group as a schoolboy. He graduated from the Academy for Theater, Radio, Film and Television in Ljubljana . Already with his first production Scheherezade (1988), still in the Ost-West Theater Laibach, he caused a sensation. From 1989 he took over the artistic direction of the State Theater in Maribor. During this time he created his legendary productions of Hamlet , Faust , Carmen , La Divina Commedia based on Dante and Die Russische Mission , which made him the leading director of modern Slovenian theater. In addition to his national fame, he was also accompanied by mysterious financial irregularities that could never be proven in court. Because of the rumors, he left Slovenia and moved to New York City , where he lived through the 1990s. There he also began working on the stage of the novel The Khazarian Dictionary by Milorad Pavić , which he brought to the stage as a Serbian-Slovenian co-production in 2002. Further guest productions took him to the Thalia Theater in Hamburg with a new production of his Divina Commedia in German, to the Berlin State Opera Unter den Linden, as well as to Spain for the Festival de Mérida ( Medea ) and to Bogotá ( Caligula after Camus ).
