Lampe, Jutta

(1937- )

   Actress. Lampe was associated with the Schaubühne am Halleschen Ufer in Berlin at the height of its renown from the 1970s through the mid-1980s, appearing in numerous productions directed by Peter Stein, Luc Bondy, and Klaus-Michael Grüber. She differed from Edith Clever, the Schaubühne's other grand dame, in that her despair had more pathos. As Solveig in Peer Gynt, she seemed a saint who had been totally secularized, and as the goddess Athena at the conclusion of The Oresteian Trilogy, she beamed benediction as she transformed the Furies into protective spirits. Other important productions in which she had leading roles included Maxim Gorky's Summer Folk, Anton Chekhov's The Three Sisters, and Pierre Marivaux's The Triumph of Love.
