Odette Bereska

Odette Bereska is a director.

She directed Teatret Vårt (Our Theatre)'s production of Heleen Verburg'sHibernatione, which won The Hedda Award 2008 in the category of best production for children and youth.

The Hedda Jury gave the following reason:

"In the whole wide world a lot of new and exciting drama for children is written, and performed. But the theatre institutions at home don't pay attention, and prefer to offer new productions of the evergreen children classics of Egner and Lindgren.

The bigger the pleasure that one of our theatres brazenly and bravely and with excellent artistic results has made newly written drama for children a priority. The award winner is unusual: A funny, witty and beautiful performance using original, charming and efficient effects to express something that is substantial and significant for the age group it addresses.

The winner is Hibernation by Dutch Heleen Verburg at Teatret Vårt (Our Theatre) the spring of 2007."
