Born into a musician family in Basel, Endre gained his first experience in a youth club and, after two productions at the Junges Theater Basel (directed by Sebastian Nübling), studied acting at the Leipzig University of Music and Theatre. This was followed by engagements at the Neues Theater Halle and the Zimmertheater Tübingen. During this time, he worked with directors including Claudia Bauer, Christian Weise, Christian Tschirner, René Marik, Sevan Latchinian and Kristo Sagor and was involved in several co-productions with the Ruhrfestspiele Recklinghausen, Theater Discounter Berlin and Kaserne Basel, among others.
In 2010, he began studying Rhetorics and Empirical Cultural Studies at the University of Tübingen and pursued a Master's degree in Literary and Cultural Theory. From 2015 to 2019, he was a member of the graduate programs at Brown University in Providence and New York University, where he taught introductory seminars on German literature. From 2019 to 2023, Endre completed his PhD in drama theory at NYU with a thesis entitled Framing the Modern Subject: Stage Directions in German-Language Drama between 1889 and 1922.
As a freelance dramaturg, Endre has accompanied theater projects, discourse formats and literature festivals in New York, Tübingen, Nuremberg, Stuttgart and Berlin. He has been a permanent dramaturge at the Maxim Gorki Theater since the 2023/24 season. There he works with Sebastian Nübling, Boris Nikitin, Christian Weise, Oliver Frljić, Atom Egoyan and Nairi Hadodo, among others. He was also part of the curatorial team of the 7th Herbstalon Re-Imagine: Armenian Allegories, 100 + 10. A Prologue in Spring, for which he co-designed the literature and guest performance program.
