Perth Festival

We’re very excited to share that Jaha Koo, creator of the wonderful work ‘Haribo Kimchi’ (Perth Festival 2026) has won the International Ibsen Award for ‘his innovative and deeply human theatre.’ 💛

This prestigious award is the world’s largest theatre prize and often referred to as the Nobel Prize of theatre.

‘I see this prize not only as a recognition of my own work, but also of all artists who move beyond what is traditionally considered theatre, and who create works for people who may not previously have felt addressed.’ Jaha Koo

We’re so happy we were able to bring Koo’s incredible work to Perth audiences!
