The Alfred Kerr Acting Award recognises the outstanding achievement by a young actor in one of the 10 most remarkable productions invited to Theatertreffen each year. The award comes with a sum of 5,000 Euro and will be presented on the closing day of the festival in a public matinee at Haus der Berliner Festspiele. This year’s juror is the actor, voice artist and author Matthias Brandt.
The Alfred Kerr Acting Award was initiated in 1991 in memory of the Berlin theatre critic Alfred Kerr by his children Judith und Michael Kerr in conjunction with the Pressestiftung Tagesspiegel and Berliner Festspiele/Theatertreffen. It is offered by the Alfred Kerr Foundation with support from Theatertreffen. Additional support is provided by Verlag Der Tagesspiegel, the Hartung family and Gustav Kiepenheuer Bühnenvertriebs-GmbH. Each year a noted theatrical personality acts as the award’s juror.
