The award-winning creator of “Campo Minado” became the first artist from Latin America to receive the distinguished International Ibsen Prize from the Norwegian government..

The dramaturgue, theater director and filmmaker Lola Arias was honored this week with this prestigious award, which is considered one of the most outstanding in the field of theater worldwide.

The jury supported their choice, highlighting Arias' work as an exploration of the limits between cinema and theater, music and performance, poetry and prose, as well as between theater and life, Birth and death. His ability to create work that recognizes the complexity of inherited stories and the narratives that emerged from them was highlighted..

Arias now joins a distinguished list of great stage creators who have been awarded this award, including names like Jon Fosse, Christoph Marthaler, Peter Handke, Peter Brook, Ariane Mnouchkine and Heiner Goebbels, among others.

This recognition comes at a crucial time for Lola Arias, who recently presented his second feature film, “Reas”, at the Berlin Festival, receiving a great reception. This hybrid musical film, directed by a group of cis women and trans people who were detained in various Argentine prisons, captured critical attention and praise.

Meanwhile, Arias is immersed in rehearsals for her next play, “The days outside”, which will premiere in May at the Alvear Theater. This piece is emerging as a kind of continuation of his previous work, promising to explore new emotional and aesthetic territories with the mastery that characterizes this talented creator..
