Stephan Märki resigns as Intendant of Concert Theater Bern (KTB). The reason is that since spring 2017, it refers to Sophie-Thérèse Krempl, head of communication at KTB, insinuating dependencies and opaque structures, including in the media. They are going to be blackmailed.
"We have been fighting this for a long time, since then we have been fighting and fighting with it to fight the theater," Märki told the media in Bern on Friday. They separated themselves professionally and privately. And he thinks the continuation of cooperation between Krempl and him "has benefited the theater more than us."
Said that and said goodbye to the journalists, who had come in large numbers. "Now I am a private citizen," said Märki – and he will not answer questions.
The board of directors, which wanted to know the relationship between Märki and Krempl since Tuesday, welcomes the decision of Märkis, professional and private matters.
Board of Directors: Law and inevitable
"This decision bears witness to a size that is rarely found," writes KTB in its statement. "Thus, Stephan Märki assumes responsibility and acts in the interest of the Konzert Theater Bern .. Given the now transparent situation, the Board of Directors considers the decision to be correct and unavoidable."
departure from Märki and Krempl – which is also ending – is however a "big loss". Märki has been responsible for the success of the Konzert Theater Bern for the last six years.
"Since the direction of Stephan Märki, the theater has experienced an increase in audience, has developed artistically, is economically very sound and has become national and international
Krempl, for its part," gave at home a considerable impulse from the beginning and in a difficult situation has successfully taken the interim management of dramatic dramaturgy. "
For the moment, Anton Stocker, commercial director, will take the lead, Märki's salary, of which the contract runs until June 2021, will continue to be paid until April 2019, the search for a new director will be postponed.
Brülhart admits the l 39; failure
Marcel Brülhart, until late June KTB Chairman of the Board of Trustees, took responsibility for the personal turmoil of recent years.Although good governance – good management – on the flags were written, it resulted in several layoffs in a short time. If he had to draw any consequences, as a referral, he still had to think about it, he said.
It was only in the spring that the artistic director Cihan Inan had thrown the book out. sponge – after personal quarrels and after only two years. His predecessor Stephanie Gräve was released after barely a year.
Both times, it should have been the scandal of the responsible actor with Märki, allegedly with Inan, because he was insisting on the dismissal of Krempls, as various media cited KTB circles.
Brülhart was nevertheless optimistic on Friday. "These are turbulent times, the Board of Trustees is disputed, but our house is so well positioned that we can expect what will happen and who will come," he told the media.
"Our city is attractive, our house is attractive to the best Heads." According to him, such a head now leaves the largest theater in Bern.The reason is to be the love of life. a woman .. Media questions were not allowed. (tag / sda)
