Vita

JOHANNES OSCHWALD discovered that he was less interested in scientific facts than in stories, while studying modern history and sociology in Freiburg. So he started writing. Johannes worked as a writer for comedy and dramedy in the Writers' Rooms of »Beck is Back« and »Schwester, Schwester«. As part of a sitcom incubator, he helped develop several sitcom concepts. He is currently writing for a virtual reality installation for the Deutsches Museum in Nuremberg that transports visitors into the future.

I have a strong need to entertain and make people laugh. But I also believe that stories serve even more important functions. In complex characters, we learn something about ourselves and develop empathy for fates to whose emotional world we would otherwise have no access.
