Christoph Clausen

Christoph Clausen, born in Frankfurt am Main in 1990, is a director and writer. He studied literature and theatre studies at the Free University of Berlin and musical theatre direction at the Hanns Eisler Academy of Music. From 2011 onwards, he worked as an actor in various off-theatre venues, including the Hebbel am Ufer Theatre, Heimathafen Neukölln and Ackerstadtpalast. Since 2016, he has been directing spoken theatre and musical theatre productions, working at venues including the Komische Oper, the Staatsoper Berlin, the Deutsches Theater and the Philharmonie Luxembourg, amongst others, in collaboration with Ulrich Rasche, Manos Tsangaris and the independent opera company Novoflot. Since 2018, he has been writing his own dramatic texts. In recent years, his own productions have been staged at the Delphi Theatre, Theaterdiscounter, TheateruntermDach and the Haus der Statistik. In 2021, he co-founded the independent music theatre ensemble VORTEX. In his artistic work, Christoph Clausen creates music-theatrical alternative worlds that lie somewhere between installation and opera.
