Charlotte Pistorius

Constructed legacies are the starting point for her theater work, says the set and costume designer Charlotte Pistorius. She focuses on what\’s concealed, on production processes, on the hierarchy of material things, and on documents and materials – all of which tell their own stories. Many of her projects evolve in close collaboration with Isabelle Schad (choreography); the research collective werkgruppe2; the author Davide Carnevali; and the director Christiane Pohle. Pistorius directs productions at Münchner Kammerspiele; Sophiensaele Berlin; Luzerner Theater; Hebbel am Ufer (HAU); Oldenburgisches Staatstheater; and the Ruhrtriennale. The artist (b. 1985 in East Frisia, Germany) studied fine arts in Hamburg (HFBK) and costume design in Berlin (UdK). She has worked on productions together with Christoph Schlingensief; Romeo Castellucci; Susanne Kennedy; Anna Viebrock; and Christoph Marthaler.
