Transcription
Life
She was raised by her divorced mother, a graphic artist and painter. After her mother's death, Hegemann moved in with her father.[3] She began writing and first gained attention with her blog. On 6 December 2007, her play, Ariel 15 premiered in Berlin at Ballhaus Ost, directed by Sebastian Mauksch. Hegemann called her play a literary fairy tale piece.[4] Deutschland Radio adapted it as a radio drama in 2008.[5] That same year, a screenplay she wrote at 14 was developed. It was underwritten by the Federal Cultural Foundation.[6] The resulting film, Torpedo, a youth drama, premiered in 2008 at the Hof International Film Festival and ran in German cinemas in summer 2009. It won the Max Ophüls Prize.[7] Hegemann credits the Jean-Luc Godard film Weekend as a major influence on her writing style.[8]
In 2009, Hegemann played a role in the episodic film Germany 09, by Nicolette Krebitz. Hegemann appeared in the segment "Die Unvollendete", where Ulrike Meinhof and Susan Sontag meet.
Hegemann lives in Berlin[9] with her partner Andrea Hanna Hünniger and studies at a high school for non-traditional students.
In 2013, her second novel Jage zwei Tiger and in 2018 the third novel Bungalow were published.
