The Neuköllner Oper mourns the loss of Luca Schaub, who died far too young on August 2 after a short, serious illness at the age of just 36.
After graduating from Graz University of the Arts, the actor was involved in numerous productions as a member of the Berliner Ensemble from 2013 to 2017, including productions by Leander Haußmann, Robert Wilson and Claus Peymann.
He then worked as a freelance actor.
In 2022, Luca was engaged at the NKO for the first time: With his unmistakable imagination, creativity and humor, he embodied the GDR star Dean Reed in IRON CURTAIN MAN. Most recently, he played the role of “Gustl” in LISAS LAND DES LÄCHELNS at our theater at the beginning of the year.
Luca touched us on and off stage, inspired us and made us laugh.
We are shocked and stunned by the loss of our esteemed colleague and our thoughts are with his wife, family and friends.
In gratitude and mourning,
the entire team of the Neuköllner Oper
