Géza Bodolay became the director of the Institute of Theater Arts at the University of Theater and Film Arts, hvg.hu reported.
His predecessor, László Bagossy, resigned from his post in protest at the transformation of the university by the foundation and the restriction of its autonomy.
When asked by HVG if it was not problematic to assume the position in the present circumstances, the director replied that
Fortunately, the situation is not up to me to pacify, but for the disturbances between them, my task will be the same as that of my excellent predecessors: organizing and directing the old theatrical “department” – from the Bologna system: “institute”.
Géza Bodolay graduated from Eötvös Loránd University, Department of Hungarian Literary History and History of Comparative Art, and then in 1984 from the School of Cinematographic Arts and Theater. In 2003, he received a doctorate in theater from the same theater.

From 1989 to 1992 he was director of Kecskemét, from 1992 to 1998 he was director of the National Theater and in 1997 he was acting professor at the Berlin College of Art.
