He continued his education from 1984 until 1988 in the theatre department of Latvian State conservatory.
For his role in he received the Best Actor Award at the Lielais Kristaps festival in 1987.
Since 1997 he has worked at the New Riga Theatre (Jaunais Rīgas teātris) as artistic director.
Hermanis was born in Riga and in his early teens he played hockey in Dinamo Riga sports school.
He was forced to leave sport at the age of 15 due to health reasons.
He obtained his first theatre and stage experience when he attended Riga pantomime studio under Roberts Ligers.
In 2003, Hermanis directed Nikolai Gogol's The Government Inspector at the Salzburg Festival in Austria, which won the Young Director's Award.
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.
In 2003, Hermanis and his theatre won the Young Director's Award at the Salzburg Festival with Nikolai Gogols The Government Inspector.
In 2007, he was awarded the IX Europe Prize Theatrical Realities, in Thessaloniki.
In 2007 Hermanis refused to receive the Order of the Three Stars from the hands of the president Valdis Zatlers.
In 2007, he received the IX Europe Prize Theatrical Realities, in Thessaloniki, with the following motivation:"The founder of the New Riga Theatre, Alvis Hermanis has a fantastic memory for the details and objects of ordinary life. He is one of those few who appreciate the disappearing reality. He may not always love it but he does appreciate it. He looks into the past with a nostalgia tinted with irony and tries not to stylize but to reconstruct it. In his famous “Revisor” (Government Inspector) a typical Russian story was turned into a typical Soviet one. One can watch it and recollect the smell of Kasa, the occasional glimpse of a bright red slip peeping from under a loud printed cotton dress, and female faces changed by layers of cheap cosmetics. The real hero of this and many other Hermanis’ productions was time, a time that stood still. And it’s possible to say where.
It stopped in our memory and it’s really difficult to part with it.
The Latvian director was a young man in the Soviet time; he came to maturity when his country got independence.
He looks at the former USSR simultaneously from inside and outside.
And that’s why his look is both detached and involved.
This double perspective imparts a surprising stereoscopic quality even to simple jokes.
“Long Life”, which has recently become a European hit, also appeals to our memory.
Have you ever visited lonely old people?
Do you remember the ugly heaps of shabby things crammed into their flats?
They take up valuable space and air but their owners can’t throw them away, because their past life is embodied in them.
In Hermanis’s production, those heaps are reproduced with talented meticulousness.
Around 2009 Hermanis adapted eight of Vasily Shukshin's short stories for stage in a collaboration with the Theatre of Nations in Moscow, entitled Shukshin's Stories (or Shukhsin's Tales).
it is still touring the world, and has won several awards.
He has frequently worked 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.
Since 2012, Hermanis has also directed and created sets for opera productions – first being invited by the Salzburg Festival to stage Bernd Alois Zimmermann's Die Soldaten conducted by Ingo Metzmacher.
The following year, again in Salzburg, Hermanis presented Harrison Birtwistle's opera Gawain.
He eventually received it in 2012, when Zatlers had already left office.
In 2012 Swiss culture magazine du surveyed theatre experts from 20 different countries and included Hermanis on the list of the ten most influential European theatre personalities of the past decade.
Hermanis transformed the Great Festival Hall into a gigantic museum with moving walls and the singers into museum custodians and personalities from the paintings shown.
