From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Sesede Terziyan (born in 1981) is a German actress based in Berlin.
Sesede Terziyan was raised by Armenian parents from Yozgat in Turkey, growing up in Lower Saxony and later in Baden-Württemberg. Terziyan has said that she always had a strong desire to express herself, at first through music, but found she could be her true self in the theatre.[1] She trained at the Ernst Busch Academy of Dramatic Arts, and on graduating in 2005, co-founded the independent theatre company Eigenreich, appearing in its opening production, Sarah Kane's 4.48 Psychosis.[2][3]
Early stage appearances included Death of a Salesman at the Deutsches Theater Berlin and Bloody Homeland at the Maxim Gorki Theatre.[4] She was engaged at Deutsches Theater (Göttingen) in 2006, returning to freelance work in 2008. In 2011, she took the teacher's role in Verrücktes Blut (Mad Blood), a play based on a French film, La Journée de la jupe, at the Ballhaus Naunynstraße in Berlin. The play was developed by Nurkan Erpulat and Jens Hillje through a process of improvisation, co-inspiration and ensemble work.[5][6] In 2013, she returned to the Maxim Gorki Theater, under the artistic direction of Şermin Langhoff, appearing in several productions including Rewitching Europe and Berlin Oranienplatz.[7][8]
In 2020, as chief detective Jasmin Sayed, she played the first female chief of a fictionalized Wasserschutzpolizei (river police) in the ARD series, WaPo Berlin.[9]
