Jette Ostan Vejrup, a Danish-Slovenian actress born in 1962 who is member of the Ljubljana City Theatre, is the winner of this year’s Borštnik Ring, Slovenia’s top accolade for lifetime achievement in theatre acting.
The jury said that Ostan Vejrup’s breakthrough into Slovenian theatre has undoubtedly expanded its boundaries. By experiencing Slovenian theatre as a foreigner, she enriched it with new stage experiences, offering Slovenian theatre-goers the possibility of comparison. Ostan Vejrup is due to receive the award on 27 June at the closing ceremony of Maribor Theatre Festival.
