Jonas Corell Petersen was nominated for The Hedda Award in the category of Best Direction in 2011 for his direction of The Sorrows of Young Werther by Johan Wolfgang von Goethe, new adaption by Andrea Koschwitz/Jan Bosse, The Norwegian Theatre. For The Sorrows of Young Werther Pedersen also won the European Fast Forward award for young directors.
Since then he has staged Zoo for Black Box Teater and The Norwegian Theatre, Bank for Rogaland Theatre and Othello for Staatstheater Braunsschweig.
Jonas Corell Petersen was nominated for the Hedda Award 2013 in the best direction category for Baby, The National Theatre and Eg/Ik/Ich/I, The Norwegian Theatre. Eg/Ik/Ich/I was also nominated in the special artistic achievement category, and it won The Hedda Award in the best production for children and youth category the same year.
The Hedda Jury gave the following reason:
"Breaking a new path when creating theatre for children and youth demands courage. But just then theatre for children and youth is at its best. This year's winner is such a production, innovative and limitless. In expression, language, content and structure it is a game with all the elements of theatre, and playfully - light and entertaining - it breaks ground while turning up deep, existential serious-mindedness. The performance elegantly balances ancient storytelling and contemporary virtual reality. This year's production for children and youth is clever and existential theatre in which both direction and acting are characterised by energy surplus. The winning production crosses borders between worlds and between languages. This year's award for best production for children and youth goes to Eg/Ik/Ich/I."
The Robbers by Friedrich Schiller, directed by Jonas Corell Petersen, produced by The Norwegian Theatre, was nominated for The Hedda Award 2014 in the production of the year category.
