Viktor Juan Sebastian Bodó (* 1978 in Budapest ) is a Hungarian director and set designer .

Life

Bodó studied acting and directing and then worked as an actor at the Krétakör Theater in Budapest. His breakthrough came as a director at the József Katona Theater. He then went to the Schauspielhaus Graz , where he has been active for five seasons (including Kafka's Das Schloss , Alice after Lewis Carroll ). Alice has been invited to festivals several times, including the 2009 Salzburg Festival .

In 2008 Viktor Bodó founded his own theater company in Budapest called the Szputnyik Shipping Company, a modern theater and behavioral research institute and laboratory .

Since 1999 he has also worked as an actor, director and screenwriter for film and television. In 2010, the Schauspielhaus Graz was invited to the Berlin Theatertreffen with Bodó's production of The Hour because We Didn't Know About Each Other . This was followed by guest performances at the National Theater (Budapest) and in Moscow.

In September 2011 Bodó's play Tot premiered on the Orient Express at the Theater Winterthur . The co-production of the Budapest SzputnyikShipping Company and the Theater Winterthur was also performed in the Great House of the State Theater Mainz from October 2011 .

Viktor Bodó's production The Auditor by Nikolai Gogol at the Vig Theater Budapest was one of the few performances in the 2013/14 season that dealt with the political reality of Hungary in a barely veiled manner. Bodó brought the play into the present and relocated the plot to an empty swimming pool, in which incriminating material from the past is shredded. Bodó worked with grotesque overdrawing and staged Gogol's play as an absurd nightmare.

Viktor Bodó was nominated for the German Theater Prize DER FAUST 2014 for his production of König Ubu at the Heidelberg Theater .
