With Rimini Protokoll he received the German theatre award Der Faust (2007), the European Theatre Prize (2008), the Silver Lion of the Venice Theatre Biennale (2011) and the Swiss Grand Prix Theatre/Hans Reinhart Ring (2015); in 2018 he won an award at the Bitef festival in Belgrade for “Nachlass”.
