• November 2018
The actress Alexandra Borbély was born in Slovakia and has lived and worked in Hungary since she was 18. In her acting, she synthesizes the elements of both cultures. Alexandra graduated from the University of Theater and Film Arts in Budapest and has worked at Katona József Theater ever since. In 2017, she was chosen Best Actress at the European Film Awards for her role in the movie "On Body and Soul." In 2018 she was awarded the Jászai Mari Award (the Hungarian national award for acting excellence), which she received as a recognition of her outstanding acting performance. On the stage of TEDxLibertyBridgeWomen, Alexandra is talking about her Slovak-Hungarian dual identity and her related experiences. In her honest talk, she shares with us whether this duality is an advantage or a setback. She also explains how our decision on this question influences our life and our actions.
