Tereza Hofová

Tereza Hofová studied acting at the Theatre Faculty of the Academy of Performing Arts in Prague (DAMU) and debuted as Marla Singer in a Činoherní Studio production of the legendary Fight Club. One of her most successful and most distinctive roles was in the award-winning monodrama Skugga Baldur, based on the novel by Icelandic author Sjón and directed by Kamila Polívková, on which Hofová collaborated as part of the creative team. She spent several years living in Reykjavik, and her connection to Icelandic culture has continued in her other projects, including the recent production of Moonstone at Prague’s Studio Hrdinů. Cinematically, she has worked with leading directors such as Vladimír Michálek, Marek Najbrt, Robert Sedláček, Šimon Holý, Zdeněk Jiráský, and Adam Sedlák. She was nominated for an acting award for her performance in the lead role in Sedlák’s successful Domestique, which was shown in competition at the Karlovy Vary film festival. In Iceland, she shot a film with artist and director Katrin Ólafsdóttir, who was a juror at the 2019 Pragueshorts festival.
