This year's (d)jervest: Magnus Myhr

For the award for this year's (d)jerveste, the jury has landed on someone who has been fearless and committed, and who has challenged established norms in the theater industry. Which has contributed to a wider discussion about what it means to tell other people's stories on stage - and on what terms this happens. Despite standing alone in the face of strong media attacks, the winner has continued to raise his voice for a more reflective and open artistic conversation around representation and directing. 

The brave approach to an inflamed topic has initiated an important discussion. Through his work, the winner has not only challenged existing structures and institutions, but also risked a lot to create room for change in the performing arts field. It is precisely these actions that make him deserve the award as the year's bravest – an award for having spoken up for art in a way that can lift the field forward.
