This local lad, just 28 years old, snatches the 10,000 Euro reward - the Gobert Prize, in tribute to the accomplished actor and Thalia Theater head, Boy Gobert (1925-1986). Dennis, a graduate of Hamburg's Music and Theater Academy, has graced the stages at venues like St. Pauli Theater.
The panel, spearheaded by actor Burghart Klaußner, lauds Svensson's uncanny ability to embody his characters with grace, steering clear of theatrical excess. His roles breathe with tender innocence and awe, making audiences believe in his transformation.

The Gobert Prize is not just an accolade; it honors the enduring legacy of Boy Gobert. Distinguished predecessors, including Ulrich Tukur, Martin Wuttke, Susanne Wolff, Hans Löw, Gala Othero Winter, and Steffen Siegmund, have celebrated their achievements with this prestigious award. The honorary ceremony unfolds on December 1st during a matinee at Thalia Theater.
