Hungarian playwright, screenwriter, studied at the Budapest University of Theatre and Film. She wrote the dramas "Dementia", "The Light of Life", "The Seven Deadly Sins / Homeland (based on B. Brecht), the libretto for the opera "Voyage vers l'Espoir" etc. The playwright wrote the play "Parts of a Woman" in 2018 in collaboration with the Hungarian director Kornélis Mundruczó, first staged in Poland at the "TR Warszawa" theatre, and received success and recognition. The play has been shown on the most famous stages of the world, at theatre festivals (Festival d’Avignon, Athens & Epidaurus Festival), "Divine Comedy Festival", "Sirens" etc.). In 2019, this work won the "Grand prix" as the best Polish play of 2019 at the "Boska komedia" festival in Krakow. In 2020, through the efforts of K. Wéber and K.

Uršulė Bartoševičiūtė (Barto) is one of the most interesting theater directors of the young generation, who has created plays in various Lithuanian and foreign theaters. In 2021, she was awarded the Young Artist Prize, the play “Macbeth” was nominated in 5 categories of the Icelandic Theater Awards in 2023, the play “Anatomy of Suicide” (LNDT, 2024) was nominated in the “Golden Stage Crosses” awards in the categories of best direction, supporting female role and scenography. In her work, the director is interested in time, ways to analyze intergenerational relationships, transforming traumas, and seeks to rethink the fixed depiction of specific characters, events, and phenomena, phenomena and feelings that change over time: how we historically portray women on stage, how to more accurately stage classical texts, what dynamics we prefer to observe on stage and in rehearsal halls. She is also interested in answering the question - how else does time affect us, aside from the fact that it physically and ideologically forces us to age and become old-fashioned?
