Klaus Suppan

Klaus Suppan grew up near Graz, Austria, where he attended a technical college specializing in control and automation engineering. During his final year of training, he studied improvisational music with Adelhard Roidinger at the Anton Bruckner Private University in Linz. In 2003, he graduated with distinction from the university program in music and media technology at Studio SAMT in Linz, Austria.

His interest in anthroposophy later led him to the Goetheanum in Dornach, Switzerland. Until 2017, he was active internationally as a stage eurythmist and lecturer. During this time, he also began to deepen his work in the field of stage lighting, which in 2017 led him to the Goetheanum Stage in Dornach, Switzerland, where he took on the role of lighting technician and lighting designer.

In addition to numerous dance and theatre productions, he created the lighting design for the nine-hour production of Faust at the Goetheanum in 2020, as well as for the opera Parsifal by Richard Wagner in 2023. Since 2025, he has been working as a lighting technician at Kaserne Basel, and as a freelance lighting designer.
