Leonard Haverkamp

Perhaps it’s due to the salt cracker, but perhaps Leonard Haverkamp’s jaw has dropped because the really big stage is about to happen. Still, he is happy to return to Berlin, which he left in the autumn of 2023 to go “auf Zürich” (as they say in Switzerland), where he studies cultural publishing at the Zurich University of the Arts and writes for various media as a freelance author. He has been a theatre critic ever since he started going to the theatre and his writing was professionalised over the past few years when he started writing for nachtkritik.de and the magazine akut. Criticism is important to Leonard Haverkamp because it interacts with something that it values.
