Cornelia Crombholz, Director

Cornelia Crombholz (36) is a German national. She trained and worked as an actress before studying theatrical direction at the prestigious Max Reinhardt Seminar in Vienna. As a director, her name has featured on the credit list of a number of productions popular with theatre audiences in, among others, Vienna (Closed Society by Sartre), Bremerhaven (Bremen Freedom by Fassbinder), Graz (The Bourgeois Gentleman by Moliere), Munich (Clavigo by Goethe; A Crazy Day by Turrini) and Berlin (The Endgame by Beckett; The Fire Raisers by Frisch).

Of her most recent production in Graz, this year’s European Capital of Culture, an Austrian critic wrote: "A brilliant achievement. Graz owes a number of excellent productions to director Cornelia Crombholz, but with her version of Georg Büchner’s Woyzeck she presents her greatest achievement so far."
