Not everyone has interned at the famous Rimini Protokoll. Alžběta Vrzgula (1992) has. The talented director and playwright has participated in three projects there: Utopolis Lausanne, Conference of the Absent Paris, and URBAN NATURE Mannheim. During her studies at the Theatre Faculty of the Academy of Performing Arts in Bratislava, she completed internships in Poitiers and Brno, and between 2015 and 2017 worked as an assistant director with director David Jařab.
In Bratislava, she co-founded the independent professional theatre Uhol_92, where she is involved as an author. As a director, she has guest-directed on both Slovak and Czech stages – among others, the debated queer variation on the story of the Maid of Orleans, I, Johan*a (2023) at Divadlo Komedie.
She won the 2022 DOSKY Award for directing her own play Humiliated and Bloodthirsty. In 2024, she received the Tatra Bank Foundation Award for Young Artist under 35 in the Theatre category for writing and staging Toni Wolff Realizes She Lost Millions.
