The Deutsches Theater in Berlin's staging of Elfriede Jelinek's "Angabe der Person" scooped this year's Nestroy Prize, marking the best production in the German-speaking world. Director Jossi Wieler gracefully accepted the award in Vienna during the play's world premiere, where Jelinek touches upon the Holocaust and other pressing themes. In his speech, Wieler emphasized the significance of Jelinek's art at a time when Jews' safety is uncertain beyond Berlin.
At the grand Vienna Nestroy Theatre Awards, Michael Maertens garnered Best Actor honors for his captivating portrayal of a Viennese factory owner in Schnitzler's "Das weite Land" at the Burgtheater. Overcoming criticism following his dismissal from Salzburg Festival's "Jedermann," Maertens skillfully utilized a malfunctioning microphone to avoid commenting on the situation.
Saioa Alvarez Ruiz was acknowledged as Best Actress, recognizing her mesmerizing performance in the provocative production "Ophelia's Got Talent" at Berlin's Volksbühne and Vienna's Volkstheater. The jury extolled Alvarez Ruiz's enigmatic stage presence, double-edged wit, and brazen resoluteness, particularly when compared to traditional disabled theater roles. Delighting in her high-powered portrayal, Alvarez Ruiz expressed her desire to see more empowering roles for actors with disabilities.
