László Göndör is a performer and theatre maker, based in Budapest and Amsterdam. After studying interdisciplinary performance arts in both the United States and Indonesia, he has continued his adventurous journey in Hungary’s independent theatre scene. His work is known for its bold and sardonic humour and for walking the tightrope between entertainment and rupture of taboos.

He is particularly interested in expanding the concept of one-person shows in innovative, self-reflective manners and blending trash aesthetics with conventional beauty.

He is currently enrolled in the International Dramaturgy Masters programme at the University of Amsterdam.

His first theatre piece, the neo-dadaist opera BajuSS, was nominated for the Best Musical-Entertainment Performance Award by the Hungarian Guild of Theatre Critics in 2018.

In 2020, he won the Staféta Award, a program dedicated to support the most

promising young Hungarian emerging theatremakers. In the frame of it he created the performance Living the Dream wih Grandma which since its premiere in 2021 has been running successfully not only at Trafó Contemporary House of Arts, but also at other hungarian and international festivals.

In 2023, he won the Staféta Award for the second time, with the opportunity to present Living the Dream with Grandma 2.0 at Trafó House in 2025.
