Marina Galic attended the Otto Falckenberg School in Munich from 1994 to 1998. After graduating, she began her career at the Schauspielhaus in Zurich, before performing under the direction of Thomas Ostermeier at the barracks at the Deutsches Theater in Berlin and following him to the Schaubühne at Lehniner Platz in 1999. There she occupied the borderline between drama and dance, performing in productions including ‘Vor langer Zeit im Mai’ by Roland Schimmelpfennig, directed by Barbara Frey and Luc Dunberry’s dance piece, ‘Seriously’. Alongside this, she guested at the Volksbühne at Rosa Luxemburg Platz in Brecht’s ‘Baal’ by Thomas Bischoff, at the Frankfurt Schauspiel in Sarah Kane’s ‘4.48 Psychosis’ by choreographer Wanda Golonka and at the Schauspielhaus Bochum in ‘Vier Bilder der Liebe’ by Lukas Bärfuss, directed by Karin Henkel.

From 2002 to 2009 she performed at the Bavarian Staatsschauspiel in Munich, where she played roles including Recha in Lessing’s ‘Nathan der Weise’ (Director: Elmar Goerden) and could be seen in Goethe’s ‘Stella’ (Director: Florian Boesch) and in Brecht’s ‘Im Dickicht der Städte’ (Director: Tina Lanik). In 2004 she was awarded the Vereins der Freunde prize for young performers, and in 2006 she received the Bavarian ‘Kunstförderpreis’.
