Michal Lošonský
Profile

Michal Lošonský graduated in art and architecture from the Academy of Visual Arts in Bratislava and the Slovak Technical University in Bratislava. He studied stage design at the Academy of Performing Arts in Bratislava, where he also completed his doctoral study. As a university student, he worked on student productions and created projects that involved spatial solutions for various events, festivals, and conferences. He worked as the architect and curator of several exhibitions. He created a presentation for the 2015 Prague Quadrennial – an exhibition of stage design and theatre space. The Slovak student section entitled The Aura of Stage Design, which Lošonský curated, was nominated for the PQ Gold Medal award. In his work, Lošonský has been an active film set designer, creating sets for such movies as Kidnapping, The Monument, or By a Sharp Knife. He has studied the space not only as a stage and set designer, but also as an architect. Lošonský’s portfolio is diverse and made up of a broad variety of works. This breadth of experience and perspectives can be traced throughout his work, especially through his work with the overall space of the stage, which he does not confine, but works with it in a comprehensive way. He uses its architecture to the benefit of the scenic design of the staged work. He won the DOSKY award for best stage design of the 2019 season for the production of Catch-22 (Andrej Bagar Theatre in Nitra), and in 2023 for Kocúrkovo (Slovak National Theatre).
