Rolf C. Hemke becomes the artistic director of the Vorpommern Theater!

Greifswald, Deutschland - A fresh wind blows from November about the Theater vorpommern , because rolf C. Hemke takes over the artistic direction. The 53-year-old-born Cologne-based company most recently worked as the artistic director of the renowned Weimar art festival, which is considered the largest festival for contemporary arts in East Germany. Hemke's obligation means a return to the individual division line after a four -person body has held this task since last summer.

"I see my new role as an opportunity to set fresh impulses in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania," says Hemke, who wants to build on the tradition of the theater. His contract initially runs until July 2028, and the first steps in his new position will take him after the last edition of the art festival, which will take place from August 20 to September 7th.

Personnel changes in the theater

In addition to Hemke's appointment, Aurelia Eggers becomes the new opera director of the Vorpommern Theater. It follows Wolfgang Berthold, which Eggers replaced in office since 2021. Eggers has had extensive experience as a freelance director at well-known stages at home and abroad since 2005 and she has developed a feel for the needs and wishes of the audience.

But these are not the only changes. The structure of the artistic direction is also combined again. Rolf Dörnen gave up his function as director at his own request in order to be able to focus more on his work as a ballet director. These new regulations are a sign of the Vorpommern Theater, which is reorganized in terms of personnel and wants to offer the desired artistic pleasure.

outlook on the new schedule

The anticipation increases, because next Monday the new schedule of the theater for the cities of Greifswald, Stralsund and Putbus will be presented. This announcement arouses the curiosity of the theater lovers in the region and beyond. With Hemke's upcoming takeover and the change in the opera ensemble, many surprises and creative highlights could wait for the audience.

How the developments in the Vorpommern Theater continue and which new impulses Rolf C. Hemke will set remains to be seen. Culture is a dynamic area, and with the right leaders, such as Hemke and Eggers, the theater will remain a wonderful place of inspiration and exchange for many citizens and visitors.
