Boglárka Börcsök & Andreas Bolm are an artist duo working across performance, film and installation. Their collaborative projects explore the boundaries between fiction and documentary, presence and absence, often involving embodied histories, marginal figures, and spatial interventions.

They made the documentary film The Art of Movement, a portrait of three over 90-year-old dancers from Budapest which was shown at the 9th BIDF – Budapest International Documentary Festival. The film premiered online in 2020 hosted by PACT Zollverein, Tanzquartier Wien and Montag Modus and it was screened at TEA – Tenerife Museum and Festival Salmon in Barcelona among other festivals.

Their most recent work, Figuring Age is a performance installation based on the film and was presented at Moving in November Festival Helsinki and ImPulsTanz Festival in Vienna among others, where it received an honorable mention and was awarded the Rudolf Lábán Special Prize by the Hungarian independent performing arts scene. The project was presented at Sophiensæle in the frame of Montag Modus in April 2023, was selected as part of the Aerowaves Twenty23 Artists network as well as for the Showcase 2023 at Impulse Theater Festival and is currently touring across Europe.
