Geir Gulliksen was nominated for The Norwegian Ibsen Award AKA The Ibsen Prize 2013 for A Body.
The jury gave the following reason:
"The writer Geir Gulliksen makes his debut as a playwright with A Body with three voices, a woman and two men who all try to be bodies for each other without fully realising what it implies. The text is about love, longing, and it questions what is attractive in another human being. Through the characters the language also becomes a "body", an appearance to master. Language, love and sexuality are all subject to the use of power. In an involving physical language strikingly visual images of human vulnerability are drawn. Through an original perspective a literary project is elevated to performing arts."
