With the production MEDEA have Rieke Süßkow (graduate of the drama directing program) and her team at the FIAT Festival (Festival of International Alternative Theatre) in Podgorica, Montenegro.

The Slobodan Milatovic Prize for "Best Director" was also awarded to Rieke Süßkow. The actress Aleksandra Corovic was awarded "Best Female Performer" for her portrayal of the title role "Medea".

The jury statement said: "In the cleverest way, without a single word, with images from another era, the director gives an insight into the most precisely elaborated relationship structures - and with minimal means."

The FIAT Festival is an annual international festival and was created out of the original need to bring together productions that touch the last frontiers of theater, break the old and explore new models of scenic expression.
