The Government Inspector
In 2003, Hermanis and his Jaunais Rīgas Teātris won the Young Directors Award at the Salzburg Festival with Nikolai Gogols "The Government Inspector". This success paved his way for a long lasting career in German speaking theatre, starting in Frankfurt and at the Ruhrtriennale, then in Berlin, Zürich and Vienna. He continuously works at the Burgtheater, Austria's national theatre, where he presented Arthur Schnitzler's "" in 2011 and a new version of Gogol's "The Government Inspector" in 2015.
