In order to understand the meaning of the processes taking place in society, you need to observe what is happening with your own eyes. Any retelling is imperfect. Josef Lifers, actor and musician, lived behind the wall for many years.
Childhood and youth
Over the last decade of the last century, many European countries have experienced events that have changed the usual way of life. For many years the city of Berlin was divided by a high and solid wall. On both sides of this wall, ordinary people lived, with their dreams and disappointments. They read books and watched films. Others wrote novels and took pictures. Actor and producer Jan Josef Lifers was born on August 8, 1964 in a family of creative intelligentsia. Parents lived in the famous city of Dresden. His father was a famous director. Mother served as an actress in the theater.
The child grew up surrounded by love and prosperity. An executive and obedient boy did not cause trouble for his parents. The first time Joseph was on the set at the age of six. The father was shooting another film, and used his son as a cameo role. At school, the boy studied well, while there were not enough stars from the sky. After graduating from training in order to get a specialized acting education, he entered the Ernst Busch Academy of Dramatic Arts. After graduating, Lifers joined the German Drama Theater.
Professional activity
Lifers began acting in films during his student years. His first role, although not the main one, he performed in the television film "Ernst Thälmann". Then there were other projects. Among the milestone works, the actor considers the main role in the historical film "Climbing Chimborazo". Critics and spectators praised Josef's professional performance. In 1996, the movie "Rossini, Or The Deadly Question, Who Slept With Whom?" Was released. For the performance of one of the leading roles, the actor was awarded the prestigious Bavarian Film Award. Having played the main role in the film "Knockin 'on Heaven", Lifers gained worldwide fame.
Lifers' theatrical career was no less successful. He served for several years at the Hamburg Drama Theater. He played in classical productions based on the works of Shakespeare, Chekhov and Schiller. In 1998, the first performance of the vocal-instrumental group, which was created by Josef, took place. He himself wrote music and lyrics for songs. In his musical compositions, the author tells about the country in which he grew up, and which today is not on the world map - this country is the German Democratic Republic.
Recognition and privacy
The diverse work of Josef Lifers was appreciated by the Ministry of Culture. He was awarded the Order of Merit for the Federal Republic of Germany. The actor and producer continues his professional career.
You can write a sentimental novel about Joseph's personal life. The first time he married Alexandra Tabakova, the daughter of the famous Russian theater figure Oleg Tabakov. A daughter was born in marriage. But the husband and wife parted after a while. The next time, Lifers married actress Anna Luz, who bore him two daughters. And Joseph also has a son from his mistress.
