Susanne Kennedy

Susanne Kennedy (b. Germany, 1977) studied direction at the Hogeschool voor de Kunsten in Amsterdam and debuted on the Dutch stage. In 2011 she was invited to work at the Münchner Kammerspiele. For “Fegefeuer in Ingolstadt,” she was voted Young Director of the Year by “Theater heute” magazine in 2013. In recent years, she has been based at Volksbühne Berlin and Münchner Kammerspiele and produced “ULTRAWORLD” and “ORACLE” with Markus Selg in 2020. In her works, distorted by masks, playback dialogue, doppelgängers, and multimedia, the actors confront the audience with a question: what does it mean to be human?
