Hans Peter Trauschke

I am working in theatres and arts since 1984. During my work on stage I was always looking for a simple way to tell the stories and show mankind as it could be at its best; beautiful, humorous, surprising and magical.
The theatre itself become over the years to small and insular, so in the 90th I started to do theatrical sculptures in the public and told my stories with transforming sculptures such as my wall project that became a bridge. It showed the simple cognition that walls are necessary to define ourselves as an individual and as a society. We should not turn down walls and make the same out of different people. We accept the difference and build bridges to a new third idea.

My upcoming artwork is "Seven from Heaven" for Downtown Los Angeles in 2016. The "Seven from Heaven" are 120ft tall arial sculptures that will levitate for 2 weeks above the skyscrapers.


I’m working with all kind of materials that allows my sculptures to transform or to move, like the kinetic sculptures “Dancing Gods”.

I have created EXit production to archive my past body of work and launch my future productions.

I attended Studiotheatre in Munich to study acting, directing and set-design.
