Co-Producer/Production Manager

HERE Arts Center I New York, USA

April 9 - 13, 2014

FATELESSNESS is the world premiere of a solo performance adapted from the novel by Imre Kertesz, a Nobel Prize-winning author who is himself a survivor of the Nazi death camps. The 75-minute monologue is performed by Hungarian actor Adam Boncz, who is the first to have exclusive rights to adapt the novel for the stage. 

In the summer of 1944, the 14-year old Hungarian boy, Gyuri Köves, is taken off a bus on his way to work and sent to Buchenwald. In a place called a “work camp” he finds starvation, selfishness and death but he also discovers a sense of order, wonder and camaraderie, along with something he had never understood before –what it means to be Jewish.

The production is a collaboration of many distinguished international artists including award-winning Romanian dramaturg Andras Visky, and renowned New York director Gia Forakis.
