German Audience Impressions from John Malkovich - John Malkovich's opinions on the German populace
Hey there! John Malkovich, the renowned 71-year-old actor, has some lovely words for the German audience. He praises their attention and has always relished performing before them.
It's bizarre, but Malkovich has had numerous encounters with German-speaking crowds, thanks to his previous tours with the Vienna orchestra. He's graced stages all over Germany, from Munich to Recklinghausen.
Preparing for Two Performances in Düsseldorf
Currently, Malkovich can be seen until Wednesday at the Berlin Admiralspalast with the international production "In The Solitude Of Cotton Fields." But that's not all! He's scheduled to take the stage at the Düsseldorf Capitol Theater on June 17 and 18. Malkovich, alongside Lithuanian actress Ingeborga Dapkunaite, brings to life a poignant meeting of two individuals in the twilight in this play by French dramatist Bernard-Marie Koltès.
This production, directed by Russian director Timofey Kulyabin, premiered in Riga in March 2022 and made its German debut in Hamburg in 2024.
Malkovich has graced German screens before, playing the role of the woman-killer Unterweger in "The Infernal Comedy - Confessions Of A Serial Killer" in 2010, the seducer Casanova in "The Giacomo Variations" in 2011, and a power-hungry dictator in "Just Call Me God" in 2017.
