Nepo Fitz wins the 2008 fringe theatre prize

Multi-talented entertainer bursting with energy

When the StuStaCulum celebrates its birthday, the “Golden Weißwurscht” doesn't rank behind. The fringe theatre prize of the Studierendenwerk München Oberbayern and the organisation “Kulturleben in der Studentenstadt e.V.” celebrated its eleventh anniversary. At the great final this evening – Saturday, 24 May 2008 – in the comletely packed Hans-Scholl-Halle, the jury, made up of representives from the Munich culture and media scenes, made following decision:
The first and second place, together worth 2,200 euros, went to:

1st prize: Nepo Fitz (1,500 euros)
Programme: "Pimpftown – Wie werde ich ein Mann?"

2nd prize: Duo Sellarie (700 euros)
Programme: "Fränkische Chansons"

The jury was made up of::

• Gabriele Englet, Bayerischer Rundfunk / Unterhaltung-Wort
• Katrin Hildebrand, tz
• Till Hofmann, Münchner Lach+Schießgesellschaft and Lustspielhaus
• Angelika Schall, student representative of the Technical University of Munich
• Fabian Eckl, Norbert Kluy und Michaela Mertens, organisation „Kulturleben in der Studentenstadt e.V.“
• Elisabeth Ebentheuer and C. Otto, Kulturbüro of the Studierendenwerk München Oberbayern

The jury said:

Nepo Fitz stands out because of his great musical and artistic talent and his stage presence. He interweaves music and word with great speed. His roll play is particularly convincing. Nepo Fitz impresses his audience as a multi-talented entertainer.

With lots of passion and imagination, Duo Sellarie defy the established expectations of cabaret with their novel song lyrics, new musical sounds and minimalistic choreography.
