Marc Schnittger

Marc Schnittger, born in 1966, is an actor, puppeteer and puppet designer.

Marc Schnittger has been developing his characteristic visual theatre style since 1988. His shows combine acting and puppet theatre with glove puppets and life-size figures. Schnittger’s shows shift elegantly between scenic miniatures and powerful drama: they are sensual, lively and imaginative, placed on a fine line between profundity and humour. His repertoire consists mainly of one-man shows conceived for large and small stages. Schnittger assembles a specific artistic and technical team for each production.
