“Realschul-oscar” goes to Herzogenaurach
Last tuesday evening in rothenburg ob der tauber, germany, the 15th award ceremony was held. At the 15th award ceremony for secondary schools in central franconia, a student from herzogenaurach secondary school was also honored with an award. Paulina walz and rik johnen won over the jury with their remarkable performance of durrenmatt's "the visit of the old lady" the school says it was able to convince its students in the past school year.
The way in which the two tenth-graders (then in ninth grade) interpreted their main roles, at the age of just 15, went far beyond the level that is normally expected of a school stage, according to the jury. The press and the public, many of whom thought paulina was a teacher or a hired professional actress, were equally amazed and delighted, not least by how confidently the young performers expressed their understanding of this demanding work through their multifaceted acting.
