It was in 1985 that I first had the inspiration to start my own theatre, at the time I was working in
the national theatres of Austria, Germany and Switzerland, where I was guided by the great
artists and teachers Abby Kitzel, Niki Wolcz and David Esrig through a rich experience of the
fundamental perspectives of theatre.
But now I wanted to brake free of the traditional art of theatre,
to find a new way to express the mistrial through the performing arts, in a way that it can be
accessible to the audiences of today.
To take inspiration from around the world including the Sacred theatre of India, Japanese
theatre arts of Noh, Kabuki, Beijing Opera, Ancient Greek theatre, Commedia dell´Arte and
Anthroposophy of Rudolf Steiner.
During the next few years my goal to find new expressions through the performing arts of
the metaphysical dimensions finally drove me to start an independent theatre.
The first step in this direction was the creation of an independent “Cube Theatre” in Munich by
Christian Thoma, Liviu Rozorea and I.
The second step was a production of “The Dream, a life” in St.Polten under the name
of “Pro Logos Theatre” with Werner Eng and others.
It was not my intention to start a theatre in Romania, but I found here many very good young
actors with the same artistic ambitions, so I created the “Theatre Logos” in Buftea and
Bucharest through which to be able to work with the Romania actors.
It was on the 12 October 1998 that the “Logos Theatre” was officially recognized as a cultural entity of Romania.
