ball V"THESPIS" MONODRAMA  FESTIVAL
(KIEL, Germany, 10-17 November 2006)


After eight days packed with 16 different solo productions from Australia, Japan, Italy, Marocco, Israel, Poland, Russia, Turkmenistan, Armenia, Great Britain, the Ukraine, South Africa and Germany, the 5th THESPIS festival ended on November 17, 2006.
The festival programme presented unique insights into theatre traditions from the most different countries and cultures, mostly for the first time on a German stage.

On November 17, 2006, 10:30 p.m., the prize winning actresses and actors of the 5th International Monodrama Festival THESPIS where announced by the international jury (Valery Khasanov/Russia - Chairman, Renate Klett/Germany, Cersten Gerecht/Germany, Abel Solares/Guatemala):

The main award for an extraordinary artistic achievement (donated by Kieler Nachrichten) was divided into three equal parts and went to: Nozomi Satomi (WHO AM I?/Japan), Yftach Klein (HIGH NOON/Israel) and Pip Utton (BACON/Great Britain).
The special award (donated by Maecenas e.V.) was divided into three equal parts and went to: Lidiya Danylchuk (DREAM/the Ukraine), for transforming poetry into theatre and voice into dance, to Latefa Ahrrare (THE LAST NIGHT/Marocco), for her courageous approach of a social taboo, and to Anna Mele (LEAR/Turkmenistan), for creating a one man show based on the traditions of oriental theatre out of a classic play.
The attendant festival directors (Valery Khasanov/Russia, Hakob Ghazanchyan/Armenia, Mohammad Al Afkham/United Arab Emirates, Antonina Mikhaltsova/Belarus, Jolanta Sutowicz/Germany) awarded their special prize to: Julian Swift-Speed (FOOTSTEPS/Poland).
The festival organizers’ special award went to: Armine Matzakyan (FROM ME TO ME/Armenia).
The media award (donated by Offener Kanal Kiel) went to: Nazomi Satomi (WHO AM I?/Japan).

One week earlier, on November 10, 2006, the festival had been opened by the Europe-widely acclaimed German actress Angela Winkler with her solo performance I CANNOT SAY I LOVE YOU (not in contest) in the sold out Schauspielhaus of Kiel and in the presence of representatives of culture and politics. Generally, the festival’s reception by the audience was clearly higher than in the past. Many events were sold out, the press coverage was enhanced.
The supporting programme - e.g. symposia and a workshop (Kieler Nachrichten, KulturForum) - were successful, too.

As in the past, the encounter of the actresses and actors of this year’s festival caused new creative impulses which hopefully will become viewable on the world’s theatre stages in the near future.

The presence of such prominent artists like Angela Winkler, the Polish Beckett actress Irena Jun and the highly acclaimed Israeli-Arabian actor and director Mohammad Bakri affirms the international reputation of THESPIS.

We are very happy about the great cooperation with our partners: Jennifer Walpole, Secretary General of ITI/UNESCO, came from Paris and spoke to the audience at the opening night, the cooperation with peace of art added a very interesting special programme with discussion and music to the performances from Israel, and the moving monodrama FOOOTSTEPS in the Flandernbunker (in cooperation with Verein Mahnmal Kilian e.V.)  aroused much public interest.
