Nagy Dóra

I am an actor and creator, and a founding member of Trojka Theatre Company. After studying at the Keleti István School of Arts and the Kolibri Theatre Studio, I graduated from the University of Arts in Târgu Mureș, first with a BA in puppetry and later with an MA in acting.

An important stage in my career was Timișoara, where I worked for several years. It was there that I truly experienced what it means to work within a repertory theatre, while Romanian theatrical thinking and creative approaches also had a strong influence on me.

Among the encounters and collaborations I had in Timișoara, my work with Csilla Bereczki and Zoltán Mucsi, as well as the professional relationships that grew out of these projects, connected me back to Budapest. These collaborations marked the beginning of my next creative period, with Trojka Theatre Company becoming one of its key foundations.

Among my important works is Guppi, directed by Zoltán Mucsi. With Trojka, I have worked on productions such as The Unfinished Story of Anna Karenina – Love is the Answer, SZX_MCHN – or The Persecution of Our Desires, and In Every Respect. I also appeared in I Just Came to Say I’m Leaving, directed by Dorka Gryllus.

I am particularly drawn to projects that bring the audience and the artist closer together. I enjoy it when theatre meets music, visual arts and other artistic forms. Experimentation, immediacy and simplicity are especially important to me, so that theatre can become not just a performance, but a genuine encounter.
