Larissa Keat (born 1989) is a Swiss-American actress, director and performer.[1]

Biography[edit]

Larissa Keat was born in Lenzburg as the elder of two daughters with an American father and a Swiss mother. She grew up mainly in Siglistorf, a small village near the German border. Since 2013, she has lived in Hamburg, where she had moved for her acting education.[2]

After graduating from secondary school in 2009 at Kantonsschule Baden, she did the Arts Preparation Course at the art school in Zurich (Zürcher Hochschule der Künste), where she started her studies in Scenography. After one year, she left to study acting at Schauspiel-Studio Frese in Hamburg from 2013 to 2016.

She had her first acting experience at „Atelier Kunterbunt“ at eleven. Then, she was a member of the theatre group Junges Theater Baden member for eight years. After graduating from drama school, she has been working as a freelance actress and performer, for example, at Deutsches Schauspielhaus Hamburg (director: Schorsch Kamerun) or Kampnagel Hamburg (choreography: Patricia Carolin Mai). She has also frequently worked at theatres in Switzerland, such as Junges Schauspielhaus Zürich or DAS Theater an der Effingerstrasse in Bern..

Another part of her artistic work is her engagement in the off-scene. She has written and staged several plays (#DieKapsel, NowHere Land).[3][4] With the performance Rally against Radicalisation in Marrakech and Marseille, it was the first time she worked outside the German-speaking part of Europe.[5]
