Noemi Daboczi is a conceptual designer working internationally across stage, film, and photography. Her recent theatre work
includes set and costume design for ARMINIO at the Royal Opera House, GRISELDA at Oper Wuppertal, and costume design for THE PROMISED LAND at the Residenztheater Munich. She was co-set designer for L'ORFEO at the Zurich Opera House and costume
designer for NEVER KNOWN at the Royal Ballet’s Festival of New Choreography. Her work also includes FLICKERING GLANCES FROM THE BRINK OF EXTINCTION at the
Vig Theatre in Budapest, as well as EXILS at the Opéra National de Montpellier and GRUD at Hampstead Theatre London. Alongside her
own work, she was associate designer on Katie Mitchell’s Olivier Award-nominated THEODORA at the Royal Opera House and on
Simon Stone’s INNOCENCE at the Finnish National Opera, working closely with both directors. She has worked with Punchdrunk
on several upcoming projects.
Her film work spans narrative, commercial productions and music videos. Her photography practice runs parallel to her stage
work, building constructed environments in which the relationship between person and space becomes the subject of the image.
"She's an artist with creativity, patience and brilliant attention to detail." - Katie Mitchell /theatre director/
"Her eye for detail, perfectionism, unrestful desire to challenge herself and her aspiration to push boundaries all bear witness to her passion for design" - Jermaine Spivey /director, choreographer/
"There is a power and a humanity to what she is creating, and her curiosity and artistry is rare" - Bori Mezo /puppeteer, maker/
