Set designer painter
Studies: "Ion Andreescu" Institute of Fine Arts, Cluj, 1966, Graphic Department
The talented set designer Bölöni Vilhelm came to the Oradea State Theatre from the Arcadia Theatre, a children's theatre, where he worked for many years on a small stage, miniature sets, dolls, marionettes. He adapted relatively easily, working for both sections of the Oradea theatre. He worked a little in the Romanian section, and made his debut (as a guest) in 1984, when he designed a simple but functional set, tinged with a certain poetry, for the play "The Eighteenth Camel" by Samuil Alioşin (directed by the young Victor Ioan Frunză). The great actor Octavian Cotescu was a guest in the play - a brilliant interpreter of the bonhomie Pronin. The costumes also emphasized the simplicity and dignity of the characters capable of love, at any age.
Ten years later, as an employee, this time, Boloni Vilhelm designed a lively, elegant set for the show "The Scandalous Affair Between Mr. Kettle and Mrs. Moon", which allowed the characters to move well and excellently in the space proposed by JBPriestley. For the show "Tache, Ianke and Cadâr" by VIPopa, he designed a classic set, but stylized the houses with a painter's eye, and the costumes were brought, with imagination, more to the present day. His collaboration with the actor Mişu Fotino proved to be good, the show enjoying the expected success.
