Sönke C. Weiss is an internationally awarded photographer, writer, journalist, theatre director and filmmaker. He was born in Itzehoe, Germany, in 1967. His first novel, The Girl and the War, was published in 2006. Two years later he received his first Pulitzer Prize nomination for his stage play Butterflies of Uganda.
His artistic roots go back to his college years. He studied under and worked with Edward Albee (Who’s afraid of Virginia Woolf?), Robert Wilson (Einstein on the Beach) and José Quintero (Co-founder of the Circle in the Square Theatre) at the University of Houston and the Alley Theatre. He is holding a Master of Fine Arts (MFA) in directing and playwrighting next to a Bachelor of Arts (BA) in Mass Communications and a second BA in German Literature from Indiana University. His ongoing photo project, ALL THAT I CAN’T LEAVE BEHIND, a visual essay of documentary and artistic narratives, reflects the tradition of engaged reportage in Africa. Weiss’ work has been widely shown and published since the 1990s (www.soenkecweiss.com).
