Gwen - Justine Maxi Kraft

About me

I am a Berlin-based actress, writer and emerging performer currently applying to drama schools in Germany.
My work explores the poetic and the physical, often rooted in emotional vulnerability, transformation and quiet rebellion.

I performed in independent theatre projects and continue to develop my own material – blending classical monologues with original texts, performance poetry and alternative music.
Drawing inspiration from Chekhov, the singer Nico, and the tenderness of honest expression, I am interested in the in-between spaces: softness and rage, instinct and precision, beauty and ruin.
