Franciska Éry

I am a Hungarian, London-based theatre and opera director and performance maker with an interest in interdisciplinary work, site-specific theatre and durational performance. I am interested in how accent and identity can shape one another and often work with voiceover, subtitles and language. I also enjoy staging classic texts and have plenty of experience working with new writing. She/her.
