Amir Zloter

Amir Zloter is a Berlin-based playwright and director whose work explores queerness, migration, language and political identity. He holds a Master’s degree in Theatre Directing from Tel Aviv University and worked across repertory and independent stages in Israel before relocating to Germany. His plays move between intimacy and absurdity, examining how private longing is shaped by larger social and political forces.

His multilingual project A Play in Broken English investigates displacement through fractured language and miscommunication, drawing on his experience as a Hebrew teacher and recent immigrant.

In his full-length play Geva Can’t Fall in Love, Zloter portrays a young Israeli man who escapes to Berlin after heartbreak, only to discover that distance does not dissolve emotional paralysis. The play also confronts how political identity follows him across borders, haunting his attempts at intimacy and belonging.

Alongside his writing, Zloter has directed and translated contemporary British drama and collaborated with the Berliner Ensemble on a multilingual adaptation of Franz Kafka. His work seeks theatrical forms that hold vulnerability and political tension at the same time.
