Actor and director Christian Hogas is the first of the four successful applicants who take up the ICR London Attic Arts residency in 2010. He will develop a semi-staged performance of the play Bones for Otto by acclaimed Romanian director and actress Lia Bugnar. The play was first performed in Romania in 2003 and won the Fringe-Project Award at the 2004 ESB Dublin Fringe Festival.
The play explores the concerns and prejudices of two women who met in extreme circumstances: a professional prostitute, working on streets to feed her family and an opera singer who desperately needs £500 to fly to New Zeeland for her dream job - the lead role in La Traviata. Featuring Alice Fernbank (UK) and Andreea Paduraru (Romania).
Project partners: Theatre Royal Stratford East and Young Vic Theatre.
Christian Hogas graduated from the National University of Drama and Film "I.L. Caragiale", Performing Arts department. He worked with various theatres in Bucharest, Budapest and London, both as actor and director.
When: 15 March - 15 May 2010; Where: Romanian Cultural Institute London.
