The Hedda Jury gave the following reason for the award to Norunn Standal:

"The best stage design award goes to a production in which the action, content, themes and visual look melt together into a complete whole. The piece is deeply existential, and the stage design adds an extra experience, both shaking one up and inviting to silent reflection at the same time.

Here, each and every spectator is forced to think through his or her own life, his or her own choices - and the place love and reconciliation have in it all. Placed in each their lowered niche, the spectators become silent observers from the kingdom of death, and from this grave marker perspective, a large room for new reflection on the content of a complex text opens."
