As in previous years, this year’s award ceremony took place at the opening of the Swiss Theatre Encounter in the presence of Federal Councillor Alain Berset. It saw federal awards presented in Italian-speaking Switzerland for the first time. If you missed the event, a short film of the award ceremony can be found at www.theatreawards.ch.

The video portraits that were shown at the ceremony can be viewed on the Swiss Theatre Awards website, where you can also read the encomia. The evening was moderated by TV presenter Giada Marsadri from Ticino. She was assisted by the clown and jury member Gardi Hutter, who supplied entertaining intermezzi in her role as Hanna and also put herself forward for a "theatre cleaning award". Meanwhile this year's winners of the Schweizer Kleinkunstpreis, the cabaret duo schön&gut, served up their own brand of finely tuned cabaret.
