Florian Thongsap Welsch

Under the title “a scientific paper is also just a stream of consciousness with punctuation.”, Florian Thongsap Welsch published his diploma thesis at the conclusion of his acting studies in Rostock. In it, he printed an interview from 2038 that looks two decades into the past and attempts to describe how, in his personal understanding of theater, he not only equates actors on and behind the stage with the necessary audience but also holds the tactile space in indispensable relation to them.

Despite twenty pages of excessive length, Florian Thongsap Welsch’s exceptional writing skills failed to impress.

He then made the decision to seriously pursue a career as an actor, including work in Dresden.

Highlights of his career include throwing apples and roast chickens at the audience, being praised in a theater award laudation for a one-legged dying chick he played, and directing himself running in circles across multiple plays.

Upon arriving at Theaterhaus Jena, he immediately began asking the audience for props he had forgotten—most recently, a cucumber.
