Aprašymas

"The Wise Child and Magic. Three Plays" is a creative adaptation from classical fairy tales. "The Emperor's New Clothes," originally written by Hans Christian Andersen, is a satire on human vanity, narcissism, mendacity, and pretentiousness. "The Maiden without Hands," originally included in the Grimm's Fairy Tales, is a surreal story about the fears and hopes a girl experiences during puberty. "Psyche," originally written by Hans Christian Andersen, is a tragic story about a talented Renaissance artist who seeks perfection in art. But he gives up his vocation as a sculptor because a girl breaks his heart. Christopher Vened lives in Los Angeles but he spent his formative years in Poland, as an actor-mime of the internationally renowned Wroclaw Pantomime Theatre - there he acquired a flair for mythological theater. He wrote the acting textbook, "In Character: An Actor's Workbook for Character Development," which has been published by Heinemann Drama since 2000. He has taught acting and movement, both in Europe and the States. He directed and choreographed shows. His writing and directing credits for the stage include the one-man show Human Identity and the play Infidel. Recently his autobiographic book, "A Theatrical Memoir: An Interview with Myself," was published in Poland.
