Theater - Lydia Bunk takes over as head of drama in Eisenach

Freelance director Lydia Bunk is to become the new head of drama at the Landestheater Eisenach. The 53-year-old will take over responsibility for the new department from September next year, the theater announced on Tuesday. Eisenach artistic director Jens Neundorff von Enzberg commented on the selection process, saying that Bunk was the most convincing of almost 20 candidates.

The Landestheater Eisenach is to have its own spoken theater production for adults again in the future - until now the focus there has been on children's and youth theater.

Born in Berlin, Bunk studied philosophy and theater studies. Bunk has been working as a freelance director since 2000. She has worked in Aachen, Magdeburg, Copenhagen, Gothenburg, Chemnitz and at the Volksbühne Berlin. Most recently, she directed Shakespeare's "Was Ihr Wollt" at Theater Freiburg and "Shakespeare In Love" at Theater Baden-Baden.

Lydia Bunk's diverse background in philosophy and theater studies, coupled with her extensive experience in acting and directing in various cities across Europe, will undoubtedly bring unique personalities to the Landestheater Eisenach in Thuringia. The upcoming season at the theater is expected to showcase an increase in adult spoken theater productions, which is a significant shift from the previous focus on children's and youth theater in Eisenach.
