Costume Designer & Visual Theater Director

As a costume designer, I am interested in the relationship of the human body and its surrounding world in every aspect: costumes, masks, make-up, fashion or visuals. I always seek freedom in my work, sometimes in the form of hidden details. The lack of resources that defined the Eastern and Central European milieu I grew up in has pushed me to rely heavily on my creativity, to think outside the box in order to overcome obstacles and bring to life costumes and masks that are both challenging and have a storytelling capacity.

​

As a director, I am co-founder and co-creator of Catwalk Concert Productions, a performing art genre that merges a choir concert experience with theatre and a fashion show. In our so-called catwalk concerts singing models move around a catwalk-like stage in extreme and abstract costumes.

​

Since 2000, when I started working as a mask and costume designer for theatre, dance, and film, I have had the chance to work for some of the most prestigious theatres in Hungary, as well as in Austria, Germany, and Switzerland.

​

In 2014, I got my DLA diploma from the Hungarian Academy of Drama and Film for a study on the teaching methods of theatrical masks and make-up. I am currently a lecturer at the University of Fine Arts in Budapest, where I often involve my students in the production processes and push them to experiment with new territories.
