Winner
The Montblanc Young Directors Award 2004 goes to Àlex Rigola and his Teatre Lliure ensemble from Barcelona who have created a powerful evening of theatre with their production of Berthold Brecht's "Santa Joana dels Escorxadors" (Saint Joan of the Slaughterhouses).
The jury members Dr. Helga Rabl-Stadler, Thaddaeus Ropac and Peter Simonischek honored the piece with a price of EUR 10,000 because it brilliantly unified political rage and artistic craft and convincingly placed Brecht's critique of capitalism in today's world.
