Third Year: Malin Lamparter and Lucia Wunsch
Malin Lamparter studied directing at the HfMDK Frankfurt am Main and has already realized various productions on and off the classical stage. Despite excursions into the performative realm, her focus remains on stories and text work.
Lucia Wunsch studied German literature and gender studies in Konstanz and theater directing at the HfMT Hamburg. Lucia Wunsch's theater work repeatedly draws her back to old texts, which she examines for surrealistic elements and the potential of fragmentary narrative styles.

Other Years

The first two directors of WORX were Lithuanian director Uršulė Barto and Austrian director Fritzi Wartenberg. They were selected from over 120 applicants by an independent jury. Both share a clear feminist perspective on the structures and mechanisms of the world—and of theater.
Overview
-
In WORX's second year, Norwegian director Heiki Riipinen and Iranian director Alireza Daryanavard curated the program in the Werkraum, which explored the intersection of activism and performance. The four productions dealt with power structures, queerness, and activist movements from Iran to the German Basic Law.
