A £20,000 award for a young theatremaker or creative team to develop, showcase and produce Jonas Hassen Khemiri’s Invasion!
Invasion! assaults our deepest prejudices about identity, race and language. At once hilarious, disturbing and poignant, this deeply subversive play deconstructs a threatening identity – the Arabic male – and forces us to confront our own cultural identity.
Invasion! has been a sell-out with young audiences in Stockholm for two years and was an outstanding success at last year’s Theatre Café Europe.
Four shortlisted teams showcased their 15min versions of excerpts from the play on Saturday 15 November during the Theatre Cafe Festival International Symposium. The presentations were judged by a panel chaired by the author.
We are pleased to announce that the winner of the Young Angels Award 2008 is Lucy Kerbel.
