Golden Lion for Lifetime Achievement: Katrin Brack, one of the leading theatre set designers in Europe and beyond. For over a decade, Brack's descriptive stage writing has marked a new era in German and European theatre.
Silver Lion for Innovation in Theatre: Maja Kleczewska, perhaps the leading director in Polish theatre, by the side of artists such as Krysztof Warlikowski, for whom she served as assistant, and Krystian Lupa, each of them the custodians of a great tradition whose most famous exponents include Kantor and Grotowski.
