The Hedda Jury gave the following reason for the award to Dahl, Halle, Lohre and Nordhagen:

"When theatre is at its best, the singular elements flow together into a whole. Then, we get to experience that just this play had to be conveyed just like this, just now. This year's winnerin the category of best audiovisual design is small in format, but great in artistic skill. In close collaboration with the other elements of the performance, the stage design, video and sound design create images both suggesting and expanding the understanding of the material. Music and sound design become part of a whole in which drama and tenderness, sense of adventure and longing find their expressions without overdoing the effects."
