Christian Lollike

Lollike studied playwrighting at Danish National School of Performing Arts in Aarhus in 2001. He had his debut as playwright at Aarhus Teater with Operation: Louise and Ferdinand in 2002. In 2005 he became resident playwright and director at Aarhus Theater. Here he, among other things, created the play Nathan (without title), that was written for Aarhus Cathedral.

In 2009 he became leader of playwrighting at Danish National School of Performing Arts together with Mads Thygesen.

In July 2011 he took up the position as artistic director of Café Teatret (now Sort/Hvid) in Copenhagen. He has also written the play The Normal Life, that has been performed in i.a. Germany, Austria and Sweden, and the plays The wonder - the re-mohammed-ty show and Cosmic Fear, that has been performed in France and Quebec, Canada. In addition The wonder - the re-mohammed-ty show was produced for Danish Radio Drama.

In 2012 Lollike got a lot of media coverage[2] [3] with the play Manifesto 2083, that is based directly on Anders Behring Breivik's manifesto in relation to the terrorist attack in Oslo, the 2011 Norway attacks.

Lollikes reinterpretation of the classic Danish play Erasmus Montanus by Ludvig Holberg was performed first at Aarhus Theater in 2017 and was later restaged at Østre Gasværk Teater in Copenhagen in 2018.[4] and at Den nationale scene, Norway.[5]
