Pollesch got some prizes, for example the Mülheim Dramatists Prize 2001 and 2006. In his plays he exposes the audience to postmodern philosophy and cultural theory, employing diverse dramaturgical and linguistic techniques to distract and entertain at the same time. Text and performance style are interdependent in his work and therefore his plays are solely directed by himself.
