August 21, 2010: MONTBLANC YOUNG DIRECTORS AWARD 2010
For the ninth time in succession, the Montblanc Young Directors Project took place as part of the Salzburg Festival 2010.
The jury, consisting of Dr. Helga Rabl-Stadler (President of the Salzburg Festival), Birgit Minichmayr (actress), Dr. Andrea Schurian (journalist), Klaus Maria Brandauer (actor) and Thaddaeus Ropac (Ropac Gallery), presents the Montblanc Young Directors Award 2010 for the best director to
Sylvain Creuzevault and his company d’ores et déjà
The Montblanc Young Directors Award is endowed with prize money amounting to €10,000 and the Montblanc Max Reinhardt Pen, which was exclusively designed for this project.
The Young Directors Award 2010 is unanimously given to Sylvain Creuzevault and his company d’ores et déjà.
With NOTRE TERREUR, the jury values in particular the impressive performance of an accomplished ensemble in which the actors are turned into co-directors and the director himself becomes a primus inter pares. The company has made the story of the French Revolution and its implications for the present accessible for youthful enthusiasm; they show the failure of the highest ideals and the dangers of a dictatorship of the virtuous. The company succeeded with sparse means and in direct contact with the audience, through clever use of the space and increasing dramatic force.
