The actress Nicole Heesters (84) receives the German Theater Prize Der Faust 2021 for her life's work.
She is an exceptional artist who "has been putting her artistic work at the highest level in the service of the audience for decades," announced the German Stage Association on Tuesday.
Born in Potsdam in 1937, Heesters had engagements at almost all major German-speaking theaters and played in many television films.
Hanover - According to the information, she was the first female "crime scene" investigator ever.
Her father Johannes Heesters (1903-2011) was also an actor.
The award will be presented on November 20 at the State Theater in Hanover.
The solidarity of the arts with each other is in the foreground of the event, which this year renounces the idea of competition, it said.
Rather, unusual formats that have arisen during the pandemic are to be presented in a retrospective.
