“Everyone”: Altenberger wants to play lover with a stubble hairstyle

Until a few days ago she played the role of a cancer patient in a love drama and had her bald head shaved for it, said the actress of the “Neue Osnabrücker Zeitung”. With “Jedermann” director Michael Sturminger she agrees to play the woo with stubble hair.

“Of course I had to have the Festival certify that I could shave my hair for the film,” the Austrian told the German newspaper. “I got it, and then it was said: It’s theater, we can work with a wig. But actually, I think: Doesn’t it matter what hairstyle the fanatic has? The role can no longer be defined today, what’s growing on my head. The first woe without a whale’s mane would mean more to me than being the first Salzburg woman in this role. That would have a meaning for me. ”

Hugo von Hofmannsthal’s play “Jedermann – The Game of the Dying of the Rich Man” is a central part of the Salzburg Festival and has been performed there since 1920. The role of fanaticism – the rich man’s lover – is comparatively small, but very prestigious. Over the decades she has been embodied by renowned actresses such as Christiane Hörbiger, Senta Berger, Veronica Ferres, Nina Hoss, Birgit Minichmayr, Brigitte Hobmeier and most recently by Caroline Peters in 2020. This year’s “Everyman” premiere is on July 17th.
