Valery Tscheplanowa

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Valery Tscheplanowa (born March 7, 1980 in Kazan , Soviet Union ; actually Veronika Valerjewna Tscheplanowa , Russian Вероника Валерьевна Чепланова ) is a German actress and singer .

Life

Tscheplanowa grew up with her parents in Kazan and with her great-grandmother in the country. Her father, who died young, had awakened her love for his profession, mathematics, in her pre-school age. She later made a modification of his first name Valery (Валерий) to her name.

When Tscheplanowa was eight years old, while working as an interpreter , her mother met a solo entertainer who, after an eventful career, had ended up on the Volga . She married him and followed him to Germany, also in order to enable her ailing daughter to have better living conditions. She separated from him five years later and was henceforth a single mother.

Upon arrival in Germany, she had promoted the linguistic and social integration of her daughter in an unusual way. From the third day on, according to Tscheplanowa, she no longer spoke Russian with her and “handed her over” to a group of German children with the stipulation that the eight-year-olds had to teach German. The experiment was successful, among other things, because a relationship based on love and trust existed between her and her mother. Although she fell silent for half a year, when she began to speak, she immediately spoke German with no accent. Her mother tongue was completely buried for a few years afterwards, but returned in its entirety after a study visit to Russia.

Tscheplanowa lives in Berlin .

Artistic career

Tscheplanowa began her training as a dancer at the Palucca School in Dresden at the age of 17 . From 1999 she studied puppetry at the Ernst Busch University of Applied Sciences in Berlin , where she switched to acting after three semesters. She completed this course in 2005.

From 2006 to 2009 Tscheplanowa was a permanent member of the ensemble of the Deutsches Theater Berlin , where she played in productions by Dimiter Gotscheff and Jürgen Gosch, among others . In 2009 she moved to the Schauspiel Frankfurt and in 2013 to the Residenztheater in Munich . Since 2017, with her involvement as Gretchen in Frank Castorf's Faust production at the Volksbühne Berlin , she has been a freelance artist.

Looking back, Tscheplanowa thinks it was her love of language that brought her to the theater; the art of acting itself gives her the opportunity to make the language even more lively. Today she attaches great importance to her training in puppetry; Just as she has learned to lead a puppet, as an actress she also builds up the characters she embodies on stage. This helps her not least with the portrayal of male roles, which she aimed at from the start ( she auditioned with Büchner's Leonce at the Deutsches Theater) and which she later got (including Tasso and Franz Mohr ). The chance of being able to play a production over a long period of time - Heiner Müller's Hamlet machine , directed by Dimiter Gotscheff, for example, ran for seven years - she values ​​as a special privilege of her profession; the experiences that the actors had in the meantime could lead to each further performance becoming a real new encounter and thus differing greatly from the previous one.

When asked what kind of director she prefers, Tscheplanowa says: someone with a strong personal handwriting and the ability to admit this to the actor. She dresses this double quality in a picture: the director builds the house and gives the actor the opportunity to move in and furnish it. Dimiter Gotscheff and Frank Castorf named Tscheplanowa as the directors with whom she found what she was looking for. Castorf, for example, recognized and encouraged the Russian impulses she brought in. It was only under him, at the Volksbühne in Berlin, that she “really arrived” as a Russian in Germany.

At the beginning of her acting career, Tscheplanowa would much rather be on stage than in front of the camera. She is now increasingly looking for offers from the film industry. So far, she is known to television audiences primarily for her role as Gina Lombard in the TV series Doktor Martin . In Speed Racer by Larry and Andy Wachowski she appeared first time in 2008 with a theatrical production.

Tscheplanowa also appears as a singer, especially as a Fassbinder interpreter, and takes part in radio play productions . For reading the book The Day My Grandfather Was a Hero by Paulus Hochgatterer , she was awarded the German Audio Book Prize in 2018 as “Best Interpreter”.

In May 2018 Tscheplanowa was elected as a new member of the Performing Arts section of the Berlin Academy of Arts .
