Olga Torok
Olga Török is a standout presence in Romanian theater and film, known for her fearless performances and sharp artistic intuition.

A member of both the German State Theater of Timișoara and the German section of the National Theater “Radu Stanca” in Sibiu, she has made her mark in some of the most acclaimed productions on the Romanian stage, earning the respect of critics and fellow actors alike for her emotionally charged and layered portrayals.

In 2025, Olga was nominated for Best Leading Actress at the prestigious Romanian GOPO Awards for her title role in Clara, a haunting and powerful film directed by Sabin Dorohoi. She is currently represented by Agentur Mewes on the German-speaking film market.

No stranger to recognition, Olga was nominated in 2021 for “Best TV Show/Teleplay” at the Romanian Theatre Awards for V.I.P. – Very Isolated Person, a bold live Zoom performance co-created with director Paula Breuer during the pandemic. Her stage career has been equally distinguished: she earned a UNITER nomination for Best Actress in a Leading Role in 2018 for Eréndira (directed by Yura Kordonsky), based on Gabriel García Márquez’s novella, and won the Audience Award for the same role. In 2013, she was again nominated by UNITER for Best Supporting Actress for her turn as Sylvia in Morris Panych’s Girl in the Goldfish Bowl. Other honors include an award-winning performance as Jamie in Neil LaBute’s The Furies.
Her impact on the Romanian arts scene caught the attention of the Transylvania International Film Festival, which included her in its "10 for Film" campaign—highlighting emerging talents in cinema.

Born on April 17, 1985, Olga graduated from the Faculty of Music’s Department of Performing Arts (German language section) in Timișoara. Over the course of more than fifty roles, she has consistently delivered emotionally charged, transformative performances—firmly establishing herself as a unique force on stage, where her intensity and vulnerability shine.

In recent years, she has also ventured into interdisciplinary work, creating thought-provoking projects such as Memories from the Future – Video Installation, Ethnic Love Mix Vol. 12, Reconstruction with Art, In a Nutshell, and Bubble Gum Land. These works blend the abstract with the accessible, pushing the boundaries of performance and inviting dialogue between disciplines.
