Arco Renz & Amrita Performing Arts (Cambodia)
The ZKB Patronage Prize of 30 000 Swiss Francs goes to the Cambodian dance company Amrita Performing Arts for its production «Crack», which was created in collaboration with the Belgium-based choreographer Arco Renz.
The Jury: «Crack» addresses the living conditions of young people in contemporary Cambodia, which is affected by poverty and corruption as well as by progress and the spirit of optimism of a young, dynamic society. In the piece this is represented by a combative attitude of anger, yet neither in a representative nor narrative, but in a mere physical way. That is exactly the strength of this work.» Winnter of the ZKB Acknowledgment Prize 2012
