We are pleased to announce that Peter Handke has received the International Ibsen Award 2014. The prestigious theatre award is given to individuals or institutions that have made a significant contribution to the development of theatre as an art form.

The jury states that the 2014 International Ibsen Award is being awarded to Peter Handke for »a body of work that is unparalleled in its formal beauty and brilliant reflection«, and continues: »If Ibsen was the model playwright of the bourgeois epoch, which has yet to end, Peter Handke is undoubtedly theatre's most eminent epic poet.«
