Jasna Fritzi Bauer, born in 1989, is a renowned Swiss actress who has made a significant impact in the film and television industry since her debut on screen in Pia Marais' "At Ellens Age". With over thirty film and TV productions under her belt, she has established herself as a talented and versatile actress.
Bauer's journey in the world of performing arts began when she enrolled in the prestigious Highschool of Performing Arts "Ernst Busch" in Berlin, where she studied acting for approximately four years. During her time at the institution, she already gained valuable experience by taking on roles in various theaters in Berlin, including the Schaubühne am Lehniner Platz, where she performed in Leo Tolstoy's "The Power of Darkness" under the direction of Michael Thalheimer.
After graduating in 2012, Bauer became a permanent member of the ensemble at the renowned Burgtheater in Vienna. However, in 2015, she decided to leave the ensemble but maintained her status as a guest artist. This decision allowed her to pursue other opportunities and projects.
Bauer's breakthrough role came in Andi Rogenhagen's 2010 feature film "Alive and Ticking", where she portrayed the character of Eva, a teenager suffering from Tourette's syndrome. Her outstanding performance earned her the Young Artist Award of the Filmkunstfest Mecklenburg-Vorpommern in 2011 and the New Faces Award in 2012.
In 2011, Bauer received leading roles in two other feature films: Christian Petzold's award-winning DDR drama "Barbara", where she starred alongside Nina Hoss and Ronald Zehrfeld, and Bettina Blümner's film adaptation of Alina Bronsky's novel "Scherbenpark". Her impressive performances in these films solidified her position as one of the most talented young actresses in Germany.
Since then, Bauer has continued to captivate audiences with her versatility and range. She has appeared in various movies and TV productions, including the Netflix series "Dogs of Berlin" by Christian Alvart, "Axolotl Overkill" by Helene Hegemann, which won the best camera award at the Sundance Film Festival, "Cut Off" alongside Moritz Bleibtreu, Fahri Yardim, and Lars Eidinger, and many more.
