AUTHOR

Tea Alagić

TEA ALAGIĆ is an internationally acclaimed Bosnian director, writer, producer, actor, and educator. Celebrated for her highly visual, physically dynamic approach, Tea draws on circus and trapeze training, the traditions of Jacques Lecoq, and immersive theatrical techniques to transform text into embodied ritual with bold theatricality. Critics have called her work “vivid, vital, and a lot of fun”, with The New York Times noting her ability to create “a vivid, very recognizable world”, and The New Yorker praising her direction in the North American premier of Elfriede Jelinek’s Jackie, highlighting her skill in finding “infinite variety in Jelinek’s long text… make this smashing of an old icon worth a visit.”
