Juliane Ledwoch

Cologne Actor Award

Prize money: 3.500 €, provided by the Sparkasse KölnBonn
The winner was chosen by all the jury members of the Cologne Dance and Theatre Prizes awarded by the SK Stiftung Kultur:

Prize winner: Juliane Ledwoch for her role as Frida Kahlo in the play of the same name "Frida Kahlo - Memory of an Open Wound" at Theater Tiefrot.

"A highlight in her artistic work was this year's performance of 'Frida Kahlo - Memory of an Open Wound' at Theater Tiefrot. The text collage of this play tells the extraordinary life and suffering story of Frida Kahlo, who herself has her say in her letters and diary entries. Juliane Ledwoch has realized this production single-handedly. She not only plays Frida Kahlo, but also wrote the text, directed the play, designed the costumes and selected the musical passages. The review said: "With body and soul Frida Kahlo - Juliane Ledwoch shines in the role of the Mexican painter". Here it was shown once again that the Performer's Theatre Award for this great actress is long overdue."
