Biography edit

Early years edit

Castorf's father was an ironmonger.[1] Frank Castorf successfully completed his schooling in 1969/70, entering training for railway work.[1] Between 1970 and 1972 he undertook military service with the army's National Border Force.[1]

Then, between 1971 and 1976, he attended the Humboldt University of Berlin, studying theatrology. His teachers included Ernst Schumacher, Rudolf Münz and Joachim Fiebach.[2] His diploma dissertation, which was formally commended,[2] was entitled "Ground Rules for the 'Development' of Ionesco's Global Ideological Perspective and Artistic-Aesthetic Position".[3] He made numerous culturally focused visits to Poland during this period.[1]

In 1989, Klaus Pierwoß brought Castorf with a production of Hamlet to Schauspiel Köln, Cologne.[4]

In 2013, he directed a "deliberately incoherent" production of the Ring Cycle at the Bayreuth Wagner Festival, which was booed by the audience.[5][6]
