We say goodbye to Udo Kier

our Special TEDDY AWARD recipient 2015,
a friend, an icon, a free spirit.

Udo was more than an actor.
He was attitude, courage,
and a radical love for art and for otherness.

With his presence, he touched our stage,
our festival, and countless lives.
Warm, open, fearless –
someone who made every space bigger

simply by entering it.

Dear Udo,
thank you for your friendship,

your trust, your light.

You remain part of our story
and part of our family.

Forever.

Your TEDDY AWARD
