It was the only Slovak theatre to attend the festival where 116 plays from 64 countries were presented, the TASR newswire reported.
The theatre was nominated in three categories: the best artistic performance, the best actress (where Adela Mojžišová was nominated) and the most original performance. It won the last category, receiving $1,000.
The Aaahr!! performance has already been awarded at several international competitions.

The play, intended for children younger than 5 years of age, describes the world of a creative child who tries to catch what is real and what is not.
