Francis - God's Jester (Solo) |
"Fabulous Prelude for "God's Jester" - A ONE MAN SHOW.
For the January full house premier in Zurich's Stock Theater, Actor Stefan Kollmuss, from Theater 58, effortlessly slips
into the play's many rolls. With his impressive mimic, verve and theatrical skill, the actor fully captures the audience as he
interprets the scenes of the life of the holy Francis. He flawlessly enters the minds of the spectators thanks to his great acting skill,
copious imagery and the scenarios he develops.
As the holy Francis, Kollmuss draws the audience into his spell as he metamorphoses into the wolf, speaks through the birds and brilliantly
assumes the role of Pope Innocence III. He takes on these roles so convincingly, brilliantly and lustfully that the drops of sweat from his
forehead are very real and felt by all.The audience was totally enchanted and thanked this talented actor profusely for his brilliant acting
with many curtain calls and shouts of fantastic, phenomenal, and great acting!" |

Der Zerbrochne Krug |
"SH-Pektakel newcomer Stefan Kollmuss is adorable to watch when sinking so deeply into his
chair that his feet float above the ground, or while he fervently cleans his computer keyboard with raised eyebrows." |

Land Ohne Worte / Samurai / Licht |
"Noteworthy is the performance of the actors: Stefan Kollmuss gives the profusely perspiring,
desperately tormented staffer..." |
Monika Burri, Tages Anzeiger, 14.11.2008 |
The characteristics of good lies |
"The way in which Kollmuss peeled potatoes so that their skins grew to a startling infinite
length, while turning the tubers loosly and easly in his hands, yet still following his colleagues comments about the beauty of creative art seemed almost uncanny.
Is Art now imitating Life or is it not more likely the oposite?" |
Tanja Holzer, March Anzeiger, 7.7.2008

Der Simulant
"The malingerer, Stefan Kollmuss is perfectly suited for center
stage attention. He suffers, moans and shouts his way through the evening, and with his tricks successfully leads the couple
from one exasperation to the next."
|
Martin Etter, Der Bund, 12.7.2003
|
"To keep up humoristic depth in the face of narrow-mindedness is tricky,
but for Stefan Kollmuss this is a piece of cake." |
Walo Von Fellenberg, Blick, 12.7.2003
|
"Stefan Kollmuss shines in the role of sly Etzel" |

Franziskus - Gaukler Gottes (1. Solo) |
"In a stupendous
and striking contrast to the Spartan scenery, stands the passionate
acting by Stefan Kollmuss. He enacts, Francis, the Pope, a rebellious
youngster, a crippled soldier and a wolf - to mention some of the
over twenty different characters - a feat which puts his astonishing
transformation abilities to a constant test. Kollmuss pulls out all
the stops through his remarkable range of mimical expressions, and
especially shines in those roles which take a closer look at an era
of fanaticism, war and religious conflicts." |
smb, Der Bund, 8.11.2002
|
"In the over
twenty parts, which Stefan Kollmuss portrays, the 30 year old actor
radiates an astonishing stage-presence. The strength, anger, determination
and sarcastic wit, which drives the young Francis in his exploits,
can literally be felt in Kollmuss intensive acting." |
Patrizia Legnini, Zürcher Unterländer, 14.10.2002
|
"Not only
was Francis a gifted speaker, able to enthrall both humans and animals,
he also knew how to dramatically put across his credo. This is exactly
what Stefan Kollmuss successfully conveys. He personifies Francis
with such intensity and passion, turning the play into an experience
not to be missed." |
Anita Gertiser, Neue Zuger Zeitung, 23.9.2002
|
"Stefan Kollmuss
is the talented actor behind the various different roles in this play.
Seemingly, and without effort, he mimics Francesco, several different
narrators and many other figures. A special highlight of the evening
is Kollmuss´s impersonation of the famished wolf. Impressive
roars and rumbling snarls mark Stefan Kollmuss´s talent for
mimicry and dance." |
Sonja Augustin, Aargauer Zeitung, 1.3.2002
|
"The thirty
year old Stefan Kollmuss offers a stunning performance. In this one
man show, he potrays St. Francis the Jester, the Pope and numerable
smaller roles on the side. His asides in Italian, French and English
seem amusing to those who do not speak the languages, but for those
who do, like the entire play, they are not only entertained, but are
also made to think." |
Thierry Frochaux, PS, 7.3.2002 |
Gott ist ein DJ |
"Doris
Strütt and Stefan Kollmuss outdo each other and create a fascinating
showcase in the art of acting. In the turn of the hand, the verge
of disaster is exposed as a show-piece, euphoria changes into aggression,
and screams and ranting grow into silence - a highly recommendable
rollercoaster." |
bu, Aargauer Zeitung / Limmattaler Tagblatt, 15.5.2002
|
"In
Doris Strütt and Stefan Kollmuss Gösken has found two strong
actors with the ability to dreamily and gracefully move to the ambient
beats of David Thayer. A first highlight of this years Hope
& Glory Festival." |
Anja Lauber, Tages Anzeiger, 8.4.2000
|
"The
two actors show with their stage presence a piece of theatre reality.
They easily integrate all forms of media into the theatre, and playfully
lead the audience across the border that separates fiction from
reality..."
|
Urs Bugmann, Neue Luzerner Zeitung, 20.5.2000

Phil Noir |
"The effort
was worth it: The three actors accomplish great acting. For two hours,
they lead us through the story at high speed, play with Hollywood
clichés and enthrall the audience with their acting." |
David Notter, Zürcher Unterländer, 27.10.1999
|
"As the main actor, he would definitely be worth sinning for" ;-) |
Gewerbeverein Winkel, Dorfziitig Winkel, Okt/Nov/Dez 1999 |
Ceremonial del Fin |
"Unconventional
should by no means be confused with immature! What the actor Stefan
Kollmuss and the various dancers have presented is of very high quality....Speaker/actor
Stefan Kollmuss is a perfect cast." |
Ursula Noser, Schaffhauser Nachrichten, 27.10.1998 |
Blood (Graduation play) |
"A trendy
priest... nicely drawn and convincingly presented... They have clearly
learned a great deal in the technical sense, speaking and moving with
professional ease... possessing that blessed quality, little to do
with looks and personality, of displacing air on stage, and I expect
to see them again sooner rather than later." |
Gerry Colgan, The Irish Times, 21.6.1996 |
A Streetcar named Desire |
"The way they managed to transport
the opressive atmosphere into Stellas apartment was very impressive... Stefan Kollmuss
renders a convincingly macho and brutal Stanley who makes the sensitive Stella suffer
horribly." |
Monika Wegemann, Zuger Zeitung, 13.12.1993 |
A Late Winters Tale (1. Play) |
"Even though
all the characters are performed with much devotion and empathy, one
actor surpassed them all: Stefan Kollmuss acted the sly Angelo with
such a hearty dose of extrovert, that he reaped applause time and
again throughout the play." |
