Leo, performed by Tobias Wegner and directed by Daniel Briere, has won the Carol Tambor Best of Edinburgh Award, and will receive a full NYC production at Theatre Row in January.
The award is the Edinburgh Festival Fringe’s highest honor, and was presented at the festival’s closing ceremonies on August 26.
The production is from the acclaimed German company Circle of Eleven, and considers what happens if the laws of gravity suddenly change. Leo combines stage design and video projections, to create an unexpected environment in which our hero is forced to adapt to this surprising situation.
The Carol Tambor Theatrical Foundation was established to bring excellent dramatic work to the New York audience by funding the New York run. The mission to support artists in their desire to be seen and produced is carried out with no financial or commercial involvement in their future success.
