Anna Lengyel

After eight years at the Kaposvár Theatre and four with the legendary independent company, Krétakör, and working with Tamás Ascher, Árpád Schilling, Pina Bausch, Declan Donnellan and Robert Wilson, from Sydney through Berlin to New York, she founded her independent company, PanoDrama to focus on socio-political documentary work. Recent projects include the first production of Nobel-laurate Elfriede Jelinek in Hungary, “Stecken, Stab und Stangl” and the first verbatim project in her homeland, “Word for Word” on the recent racist Roma murders, which she also directed and which began touring internationally in 2012. Two verbatim projects followed since, one education and one on hate crimes with a live jury. A translator (Martin McDonagh’s “Pillowman”, Sarah Ruhl’s “The Clean House”, Tom Stoppard’s “Rock ‘n’ Roll”, among others), a Fulbright alumna and a lecturer at the Budapest University of Theatre and Film and the Academy of Music and Theatre in Vilnius. She continues to work with Tamás Ascher and Robert Wilson internationally.
