The award ceremony gave this year’s prize winners a stage and focuses on their innovative strength and their commitment to the theater as a space for social reflection and aesthetic experience at the cutting edge. A celebration of the diversity of the nationwide theater landscape, at which the Tabori Prize of the Fonds Darstellende Künste was also be awarded this year. 

The evening’s program – curated by director Tucké Royale – also reflected the artistic diversity of this year’s award winners: Under the musical direction of Christine Groß and Roman Ott, an arrangement of choral interventions were created that combined specially created contemporary texts by Sivan Ben Yishai, Boris Nikitin, the 1pp1 collective and Olivia Wenzel with classics from theater and cultural history. The evening was hosted by the actors Thelma Buabeng and Daniel Zillmann. 

The artistic stage program was followed by a reception with a DJ set by DJ That Fucking Sara.
