Moritz Leon Reichardt is a freelance director, musician, and author. From 2015 to 2020, he studied philosophy, art history, and Spanish at the Free University of Berlin. In 2018, he wrote a column for SZ Magazine about Oktoberfest, produced music in a solo project and for theater projects in an independent theater group, and also appeared on stage as an actor. In 2019, he moved to Hamburg to do an internship with Antú Romero Nunes at the Staatstheater. In 2020, he also assisted Simone Geyer as a guest at the Thalia Theater before being hired as a permanent assistant director after completing his studies. He used his time as an assistant, which is considered a kind of training at the Thalia Theater, to direct several of his own projects (“Park,” “Neon,” “Der Mann der die Welt aß”) and finally to stage his graduation piece “Warten auf den Drop.” In addition to directing, he was also responsible for the text and music. “Warten auf den Drop” was invited to the SUMMERUP8 festival for young directors at the Staatstheater Darmstadt in 2023. This was followed by projects at the Berlin University of the Arts (music, text, performance), the Theaterakademie Hamburg (music), and the Ernst Busch Academy of Dramatic Arts in Berlin (music).
