>HE WHO ROBS US OF OUR DREAMS ROBS US OF OUR LIFE<

  Virginia Woolf

 

Having grown up in a theatre family, Catharina Fleckenstein's path also led her to

the theatre.

After permanent engagements in Bamberg and Dortmund, she worked for several years

as a director at various municipal theatres.

Since the turn of the millennium, she has concentrated on her acting work.

She has appeared in film and television productions and in various theatre productions

in Hamburg. Most recently at the Theatersommer in the Concert Park of the Kulturforum Lüneburg

as Marthe and in other roles in Goethe's "Faust".

ABSTRACT

I was significantly inspired by my stays in Cape Town, South Africa, and

also by a journey to Florence · Italy that I made with my mother

before she died.

There are three remarks, that I have received, that still touch my heart:

One from Hans Heinrich Palitzsch, Painter and Stage-Designer (1912-2005)

>Art is an expression of the soul<

Another one from Marga Rues, Dancer, Choreographer, Director (1926-2012)

>Fulfill what shall be expressed by you<

And lastly from Eckhart Tolle · THE POWER OF NOW

>Who you are is always a more vital teaching and a more powerful

transformer of the world than what you say, and more essential even

than what you do<
