On the 21st of May 2016 former colleague of the GSTT, director, writer and scenographer Bogdan Ulmu pased away.
Bogdan Ulmu was born on the 29th of April 1951 in Bucharest. He was the director of over 140 shows, as well as the scenographer of over 60 stage designs.
He has over 40 scripts that have either been played or broadcasted. He has published 21 books. Numerous tours, theatre festivals he has participated in are other elements that have enriched his experience.
The name of Bodgan Ulmu is tied to the birth of significant plays of the German State Theatre Timişoara (GSTT) in the 80s of the last century, a time when Ulm worked at our institution.
Among them, we would like to mention: "Preșul" ["The welcome mat"] by Ion Băieşu (1982), "Marriage" by Gogol (1983), "Elogiul nebuniei" ["In Praise of madness"] by Dumitru Solomon (1983), "Chiriţa în provincie" ["Chiriţa in the province"] by Alecsandri (1984), "Spring's Awakening" by Frank Wedekind (1984), "Copii și părinți" ["Children and parents"] by Ion Băieşu (1985) etc.
After 2000 he returned to GSTT as a collaborator, staging the plays "The situation is out of control" by Ray Cooney (2000) and "Leonce and Lena" by Georg Büchner (2002) as well as the collage the world of Caragiale (2002) .
Bogdan Ulm was a academic, scientific secretary and doctoral supervisor, working across disciplines within universities in the country. He was a member of the Writers Union of Romania and UNITER, as well as the International Association of Theatre Critics. He was part of many national and international juries.
The German State Theatre expresses its entire sympathy to the bereaved family.
